A damning report into the Ports of Auckland's automation programme has found multiple failings, leading to inadequate management and governance.
The report found the project suffered from poor risk assessments and a failure to consult experts within the Port itself.
The automation program was dumped this year, after costing ratepayers more than $65 million.
It also found the business case was unsatisfactory, and that the project was blighted by personality clashes and cultural differences.
