Swire Shipping's "Ningpo" is discharging at Auckland's Jellicoe Wharf 22-24 January and then going to anchor until 29 January. She will then berth at Fergusson Container terminal to load. Swire say this is because of a high level of Auckland regional cargo.
She has the same voyage numbers as Spirit of Endurance for her load at Ferguson, so presume she is doing a coastal voyage.

The replacement vessel for the coastal carrier Spirit of Independence is due in New Zealand, Marsden Point, on 25 March. She is doing a south bound voyage from Singapore and will also discharge cargo in Tauranga before taking up her coastal schedule. She is named "Spirit of Canterbury"
There is no indication as yet of the former name of the vessel.

Maybe the swap between Mekomg River and Hansa Century will occur at Auckland?

Buxhai off the triple star schedule and looks like BC San Francisco in her place for voyage back to New Zealand. One week 4,500 TEU, the next 1,100 TEU, a bit unbalanced.

It looks like the Ningpo is doing several coastal voyages.

The Spirit of Endurance has changed her 28 January export voyage number from 3650 to 0208, (refer Port of Tauranga Terminal Schedule). She doesn't appear on the Tauranga schedules after this date.

Is she also leaving our shores?

It appears the "Ningpo" is taking over the "Spirit of Endurance" schedule of Lyttelton-Nelson-Tauranga-Auckland.
The "Spirit of Endurance" will swap to the "Spirit of Independence" schedule of Lyttelton-Auckland-Tauranga-Lyttelton.
The new "Spirit of Canterbury" is due end of March and she will replace "Ningpo".
