CISL is the exclusive sea freight carrier for all export and import goods between the Chatham Islands and mainland New Zealand.

We run a single vessel, the MV Southern Tiare, which serves all ports. This versatile ship has been adapted for the transport of livestock and is designed to carry both breakbulk and containerized products, including dry, frozen, and chilled goods.

Equipped with double cranes, the ship's lifting capacity offers significant advantages to the residents of the Chatham Islands and Pitt Island. We are proud to have a team of experienced staff and crew dedicated to driving our business forward.

Please feel free to explore our website and contact us with any questions. We look forward to serving you!
