Auckland's waterfront has been disrupted for the second day in a row as two people have climbed onto the roof of the Ferry Building.

Police said they were alerted to two people at the top of the Ferry Building on Quay St at about 12.15pm.

The pair reportedly broke into the building on Thursday.

At this stage there is no immediate threat to the public, police said, but they have cordoned off the area as a precaution.

One person remains atop the building, while the other is inside the clock tower.

Police negotiators are on scene and are engaging with the people involved.

Ferry services are still on schedule, a spokesperson said, but some people may be asked to take a detour before boarding.

The incident comes a day after a gunman killed two people and later died himself at a nearby construction site.
