PORT OF TAURANGA LTD.

The arms have a white chief with two fourteenth-century Viking sails, assumed black, separated by a red four-star Southern Cross. The base has a blue triangle with gold balls, whose number is unspecified, and three white waves.

This short-lived logo appeared on a dark-blue funnel that could look black in some light. Rosanoski suggests it could represent the bay widening beyond the Mount.

Kaimai’s portside photograph from January 2006 shows the band, but a July 2009 starboard view does not. The difference may relate to funnel construction: Te Matua shows the band on both sides in photographs from 2003 and 2008.
