This won't be the name of the vessel. Maersk always use MDV when they don't have the name of a vessel yet. Don't know what the Caixing is all about.

Another Offen vessel although now an ex to join Asian networks from New Zealand, this time its 5,024 TEU Pamina ex Santa Pamina, PONL Detroit and Maersk Dunedin to replace Sydney Trader. Owned by Greeks for several years, she has been flagged to Marshall Islands registered to the rather curiously named company Dud Shipping Inc - in New Zealand "dud" a common abbreviation for the town of Dunedin so most likely related to the former name at the time the new owners registered and unlikely to be in the other connotation of the word.

Swire have Melanesian Chief doing a southbound voyage from Sri Racha and Singapore, arriving Auckland 24 September. Anyone know what this is about, as they don't appear to have her going north again?

Tug Koraki IMO 8868484, that was up for sale, appears to have been purchased by Total Marine Services, who also bought the Ports of Auckland tug Tika. Her funnel is now all black and she is seen in Auckland towing their barges.

What has happened to the Chatham Islands trader MV Rangatira? Is she still laid up in Timaru?

The Melanesian Chief is doing a southbound voyage from Singapore before joining the Trans Tasman schedule. This schedule will now go to a three vessel operation and a call into Lyttelton is being reinstated. Calls into Hobart and Sydney have also been reinstated. The rotation will be Melbourne/Hobart/Sydney/Port Kembla/Newcastle/Auckland/Marsden Point/Tauranga.

Tug Pacific Way has towed the large 2017 built dredger GPK from Wellington to Auckland. I don't know what work she has been brought here to do, but she i quite impressive.
