Kotahi - LinerGame™ Full Day Workshop - Auckland - 2nd December 2025

About the Liner Shipping Game™ – Kotahi Full-Day Workshop

The Liner Shipping Game™ is an immersive, simulation-based training experience designed to help teams understand the real-world dynamics of liner shipping operations. Using a hands-on, interactive format, participants assume the roles of shipping lines, ports, and customers to navigate operational challenges and strategic trade-offs in real-time.

Delivered as a customised full-day workshop for Kotahi NZ, this program is tailored to reflect Kotahi’s network, trade environment, and strategic priorities, creating a powerful shared learning experience that strengthens collaboration, commercial acumen, and decision-making across the organisation.
