Ports of Auckland bosses are fronting for a private meeting with Auckland Councilors as tensions builds over mounting safety and performance concerns.
Mayor Phil Goff last week wrote to the Ports chair Bill Osborne to formally express his concerns and said the company did not show a willingness to be accountable for its performance.
It comes after three deaths linked to the Ports in recent years, and several injuries which forced work to stop over recent months.
Our reporter Nita Blake-Persen has been following this story and joins us now from the Auckland Town Hall.
