From Morning Report, 6:08 am on 27 April 2022

Cleaner travelling across Auckland city's harbour is on the horizon.

Two electric ferries, each holding 200 people, will operate across all major inner and mid-harbour services from 2024.

The government is spending $27 million to help build the ferries, with each vessel displacing approximately 1000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff spoke to Corin Dann.
