Liquigas has a network of installations to supply the entire country
Liquigas is based in New Plymouth, New Zealand, with depots at Port Taranaki, New Plymouth; Auckland; Christchurch and Dunedin.
The Dunedin Christchurch and Auckland installations are ‘import’ terminals with facilities for loading road tankers. They provide twenty-four hour customer access. Load-out is managed using a weighbridge and a truck automation system.
The Port Taranaki facility is used for the gathering, storage and export of LPG by bulk LPG tankships. The facility is now also capable of receiving emergency imports of LPG by ship.
Taranaki
Liquigas has its own 400 metric tonne (mt) storage at Oaonui and a further 1,000 mt at Port Taranaki. A fifty kilometre Liquigas-owned pipeline connection links the two facilities. The Liquigas facilities in Taranaki have been in operation since February 1984 when the first bulk supplies of LPG were shipped to Dunedin using a dedicated tanker.

Dunedin
This 1,300 mt installation became operational in February 1984. The installation is supplied by bulk tankers from Port Taranaki and imports from Australia. The importance of the Dunedin facility is reflected in the fact that almost all sales of LPG in the South Island south of Timaru pass through the Dunedin Liquigas depot.

LPG Tankers
The bulk tankers which deliver LPG to the Liquigas depots are owned by Geogas, a family owned shipping company. Ship parcel sizes are optimised to meet demand (between 1800 and 2400 tonnes) and deliver into Christchurch and Dunedin on a regular basis.
Auckland
This 2,300 mt installation is sited at Wiri adjacent to the Wiri Oil Services installation. A pipeline from the terminal extends some five kilometres to a Liquigas owned marine terminal in the Papakura channel at the southern end of the Manukau Harbour.
