Hi Mike
She is on Maersk's Southern Star service. She had major mechanical issues which meant she was in Lyttelton from 15 September until 13 October as V874S/N. She sailed for Wellington on 17 October and then Port Chalmers 21 October, V875N. She has now arrived at anchor at Auckland and Maersk have her berthing 23.00 on 10 November as V876N. She then loads in Tauranga 17 November and heads for Tanjung Pelepas and Singapore. There are no voyages for he after her arrival in Singapore on 4 December.
Cheers
Stephen

The Fjordvik (ex Westport) is currently aground in Helguvik, Iceland.

This might be the end of her.

MSC are making another swap to their schedule. Capricorn service vessels will now call Napier and Kiwi service vessels will now call Nelson.

Maybe off topic but I'm wanting to know the current status or fate of the dredger PELICAN IMO 7825514 last reported at Nelson in October 2017. Anyone know? Still alive or scrapped someplace?

She was towed to Australia (Can't remember the port) to be scrapped about 6 months ago. MNZ said she was no longer seaworthy to sail across under her own power.

Hi Guys,
What's up with the car carrier "Triumph" IMO 9432892? She was due in Auckland earlier this month, but has been anchored off Brisbane since 1 November.

Anyone know when the new addition to Neptune Shipping's fleet is due? She is "Capitaine Tasman" ex Fesco's Vladimir, IMO 9354533. She has been moored in Aalborg Denmark since 28 October. She had been anchored off Rotterdam prior to this, before berthing there early October, presumably to paint the new name on the ship.

If any readers in Australia can give me a steer on the final fate of the dredger PELICAN please? What was the towing tug name from Nelson? Is she already cut up? At what location and date if possible? Any data much appreciated. Thanks.

I'v done some more research about the Pelican. The P.T. Kotor towed her to Australia. She arrived in Nelson on the evening of 14/11/2017 but I can not find a departure date or destination.

The Special Purpose vessel "DN202", IMO 9329772, registered in Port Louis has arrived in Auckland from Batu Ampar in Indonesia. She may be here to assist with dredging work.
