Wanganui remains the important regional centre for commerce and retailing, and the city council has sought to attract industry to the area. As an overseas port Wanganui is no longer significant, although the inwards coastal traffic in 1964 amounted to 90,407 tons (cement, manure, coal, and cereal products predominating). The coastal outward trade was only one-tenth of the inward figure. Marton, at the junction of the Main Trunk and the Taranaki line, has a number of factories, but it is largely a centre for the rural population, as is Bulls, which, in addition, gains some trade from the large volume of the passing motor traffic. The other settlements of the coastal areas are little more than villages – Fordell, Turakina, Kai Iwi, Waitotara, and Waverley. At Ratana Pa there is a Maori settlement composed of the adherents to the Ratana movements.
