The Southern Trader was to do a crew change in Auckland before she sailed on 13 January. Unfortunatley an incoming crew member tested positive for Covid-19 and all 12 of the crew were sent to a quarantine facility for 14 days. She is unoading her cargo again at Jellicoe Wharf, (not sure if it is the entire cargo), and she will go to anchor until at least the 24 January.
Also Southern Tiare is due to drydock, so her next voyage to Norfolk Island is cancelled. NPDL are trying to locate a replacement vessel to do the voyage.

The bunker tanker "Awanuia" has been laid up at Auckland since christmas. There is no date on the port website for her departure. Ships are bunkering from trucks, heading to Tauranga or in the case of Sofrana vessels going to Northport.

Cosco have now added this vessel as a permanent addition, and she will call alongside Kalliroe, making the schedule two vessel calls a month.

Hansa Freyburg is being replaced by Nefeli IMO 9491628 on ANL's Trans Tasman service.

The Hansa Freyburg will do a one off voyage calling Sydney - Napier - Auckland - Napier (again) - Auckland (again) - Singapore.

She may be taking empty containers back to Asia. The Siangtan loaded alot of empties this week in Auckland and the Shansi will do the same this coming week.

Maersk are starting a new service to Fiji using Seaspan Hannover IMO 9320013.

Ports of call are:
Tauranga - Auckland - Nelson - Timaru - Lyttelton - Tauranga - Suva - Lautoka.

On occaison the schedule will also go after Auckland: Nels-Tim-Lytt-Nels-Tim-Lytt-Tau-Suva-Laut.

So this would assume there will be some coastal calls attached to this schedule.

Interesting times in shipping for New Zealand.

Tauranga - Auckland - Nelson - Timaru - Lyttelton - Tauranga - Suva - Lautoka.

That will coincide with the cessation of calls to Timaru by the "Rio" class vessels on the Southern Star Service. That then means they only need to call at Lyttelton once instead of going Lyttelton - Timaru - Lyttelton because of draft issues at Timaru.

Another unnamed vessel is also scheduled on that service.
