Vessel that have visted NZ and are being replaced 2011

[Stephen Chester]

The Egernsund IMO 9144469 will be renamed OXL Oceanic in Auckland before being returned to her owners. She will sail to Tauranga to bunker before returning to Auckland to load at Jellicoe Wharf. She will sail for Hobart, Fremantle and then on to Zanzibar and Takoradi.

[Stephen Chester]

"Hansa Salzburg" IMO 9516753 has been delivered from the Guangzho Wenchong shipyard in China to CMA CGM for their Asia-NZ service.

[Stephen Chester]

The third vessel announced for CMA CGM's Asia/NZ service is "Christa Rickmers" IMO 9105968.
She last called in Auckland as "Pacific Independence" for Swires.

[Stephen Chester]

It looks like "Maersk Norwich" will do 2 voyages and "Maersk Izmir" will only do one voyage on the South East Asia run. Also "Raos" is no longer mentioned on the schedule and seems to have been replaced by "Olympia" IMO 8513778 which is due Auckland 25th August."Maersk Jenaz" IMO 9311737 enters the schedule and is due 15th October.
The vessel "Olympia" mentioned is the only one I can find, but she seems small for this trade?

[Tony des Landes]

Olympia is probably the former Cap Campbell (IMO 9374583)

[Stephen Chester]

Thanks Tony. You are quite right

[Stephen Chester]

The "Merkur Sky" IMO 9158977 is leaving MSC's Capricorn service and replacing the "Buxlink" IMO 9235816 on the Trans Tasman service. She will start in Tauranga on 23rd August. Buxlink will discharge only on the New Zealand coast finishing in Tauranga on 13th August.
Merkur Sky's replacement on the Capricorn service is "Conti Chiwan" IMO 9057496.

[Tony des Landes]

"Conti Chiwan" IMO 9057496 is replacing MSC Palermo.

The "Buxlink" will replace "Merkur Sky" on the Capricorn Service but it appears that this will be a positioning voyage only as MSC have advised that "Buxlink" will be going off service in Singapore.

So that will presumably mean that another replacement will be appearing at some point.

[Tony des Landes]

The "Bahia Castillo" IMO 9362401 will replace the "Cap Jervis" on the ECNA run.

It appears Bahia Castillo is replacing Cap Cleveland and Cap Jervis is being replaced by Bahia Negra. That leaves Cap Beaufort as the only one of that class remaining.

[Tony des Landes]

It would appear that the MSC Didem will enter the Capricorn Service as a replacement for the Buxlink, although she will be slotted in earlier.

[Stephen Chester]

The next vessel added to the CMA CGM Asia to NZ run is "Hansa Coburg", IMO 9334820 ex Niledutch Asia.

[Stephen Chester]

The newest addition to Maersk's South East Asia schedule is "Algarrobo" IMO 9399789.

[Stephen Chester]

"Irenes Rainbow" IMO 9303780 is replacing Maersk Jackson on the ECNA run.She is due to load Auckland 16th September. Maersk Jackson will load in Timaru and Port Chalmers and head to Singapore.

[Stephen Chester]

Does anyone know what "St Theresa" IMO 7805095, and Tongan flagged, is doing in Auckland?

[Stephen Chester]

Maersk have announced that "Euro Max" ex CMA CGM CHARCOT - IMO 9232773 will replace the previously advertised "Graham" on the South East Asia to Aust/NZ (NZ1) schedule.
Also the second loop of the schedule which calls at Auckland and Tauranga only, is to be known as Northern Star.
