A choppy sea can be navigated

He moana pukepuke e ekengia e te waka

Welcome to our Integrated Annual Report

This year, our whakataukī embodies the energy from the currents that flow through our world. Where this energy gives, it can also take, so we remain steadfast navigating through these waters.

Embedded is the strength and determination of the people at Moana New Zealand working together to cross, at times, choppy waters and represented through the illustrative design of the hoe (oar) which has been created by acclaimed Māori artist Tim Worrall.

Moana New Zealand is a 100% Iwi-owned organisation bound by our values of manaakitanga (looking after our people our way), whakatipuranga (prosperity for future generations), whakapapa (our genealogy - where we’re from) and kaitiakitanga (custodians for our future generations). Everything we do, we take a long-term view in our approach.

A Moana fishing vessel

Moana New Zealand marked a milestone year with the business entering a long-term agreement for Sanford’s inshore Annual Catch Entitlement making Moana New Zealand the largest inshore fishing company in Aotearoa.

In line with our Iwi ownership, we honour our shareholders by publishing the report in both English and Te Reo Māori.

Thank you for taking the time to understand Moana New Zealand, our people and what we strive to achieve on behalf of, and for, our Iwi owners.
