Unusual sight in Auckland today, was the arrival of the coastal container vessel "Spirit of Canterbury", and she was FULL coming north from the South Island. No sign of any below water line red painted hull. Can this be a resurgence of coastal shipping? I hope so.... :)

Does anyone know if the "Rangatira", laid up at Timaru has been sold?

Komati is to be renamed "ANL Emora" before entering service.

Ngankin IMO 9105994 has left Swire Shipping's schedule. She is at present in Singapore anchorage and has been renamed "Vasi Star". The replacement vessel for the South East Asia schedule is TBA.

Strange indeed.

CMA CGM Alabama has been scrapped as Conti Wellington

CMA CGM L'Etoile has been renamed CMA CGM Letoile

Calais Trader is currently trading to Africa and is in Lagos.

CMA CGM Pointe Marin is currently trading as "Songa Antofagasta"

So I'm not sure if they know either.

New build Polar Ecuador IMO 9786774 is doing one round voyage on the Northern Star schedule for Maersk Jabal, which I presume will be drydocked in Singapore.

I checked the Marfret website and they show Alexander R, Lise R, Kim N, Naissane A and Eliana A

This probably makes a bit more sense as some of the vessels mentioned on the other list no longer exist

The replacement for the JPO Vela on the ANZEX Service will be the Galicia D. There was a blank sailing after the JPO Vela was withdrawn and this will be followed by the Galicia D. She did a couple of voyages as Hammonia Galicia

Stephen,

There is the MP the Brady ( in Melbourne at present and the former ANL Woomera )
MP the Gronk ( ex Juliette Rickmers)
MP the Edelman ( ex ANL Werribee)
MP the Belichick ( ex unknown yet )

All are named after 2017 Super Bowl winners the New England Patriots
Where Brady is the quarterback, Edelman the wide receiver, Gronkowski the tight end
And Belichick is the coach.

It seems Bertram Rickmers has found some new US investors( with obvious NFL leanings ) through a fund manager called Invesco
Even though he has lost his pet Rickmers

All four investment vehicles are registered in Frankfurt

Regds

Pete
