The Port of Brisbane has the Kokopo Chief in port for 1 day and then heading back to Auckland. Don't know what that's about.

Ports of Auckland has the Kokopo Chief arriving back on 2 January and berthing at the container terminal. A very strange voyage for this vessel.

It looks like Kokopo Chief will be doing a coastal voyage for Pacifica when she returns to Auckland.

Pacifica about to lose Maersk's coastal business from Timaru as once again the Danes will be scheduling the 5,950 TEU Rio-class vessels on the SOuthern Star service to call. They will make the draft limit by making a prior call at Lyttelton to off-load imports only, then return after Timaru to load exports. And because this increases voyage time a 7th vessel will be added to the string.
The extra capacity will also take the imports usually shipped in on the Maersk Triple Star service, as the  shortlived "Shanghai shuttle" service from Tauranga is being abandoned with the 9,000TEU types returning to man the WB service. This is a reinstatement of the previous vessel space-share with west coast South American product, where the ships commence loading for Asia.

Is Spirit of Canterbury run by Pacifica or Swire?  I can't find her on either companies shipping schedules.
Being registered in Singapore, is she crewed by NZers or an international crew?
Pity to see that her future on the coast in jeopardy again, but such is shipping...

I believe she was a Maersk charter as she is still showing on their schedule.

I believe the SPIRIT OF CANTERBURY maybe be on her last coastal voyage south to Timaru right now. Due back in Tauranga about 27 December and then to Auckland for bunkering and then to..?

Capitaine Tasman has been at anchor for 3 days waiting for the Fiji cyclone to go through. They have now decided to bring her back into port to load all of the Capitaine Dampier's cargo as well.
Capitaine Dampier has sailed from Tauranga and has a destination of "OPL", which is Off Port Limits. So she must be waiting on the cyclone as well.

SOC sailed from Auckland this morning from Wynyard Wharf for Timaru and seems as though she is returning to her schedule.
Strange to come to Auckland for bunkers only though.
