Updates on vessel changes and services to New Zealand in 2015

[Stephen Chester]

Patricia Schulte is now off hire in Singapore 20 October, and Liwia P is taking up the southbound sailing.

[Stephen Chester]

Patricia Schulte has now transferred to the ANL/CMA CGM Kix South East Asia schedule. Her first sailing is due Auckland December 1.

[Stephen Chester]

Patricia Schulte is replacing ANL Euroa. There is also another yet to be named ANL vessel joining the schedule.

[Tony des Landes]

As from 23/11/2015 the KIX Service will join up with the NZS Service.

This means that 4 of the existing vessels on the NZS Service will be used plus 2 other unnamed vessels contributed by ANL/CMA CGM to replace the vessels previously supplied by MOL and OOCL.

Vessels on the revised service are

APL   Sri Lanka
NYK   Stadt Coburg
PIL   Kota Lestari, Kota Loceng
ANL   T.B.A. (Replacement for Jules Verne)
CMA   T.B.A. (Replacement for MOL Dedication)

The Rangatira has been laid up in Timaru since the end of July. They are using Norfolk Guardian for monthly trips to the Chatham Islands. Does anyone know if she is up for sale or to be scrapped?

The "Conti Emden" IMO 9313242 and the "Malte Rambow" IMO 9306263 have been added to MSC's Capricorn Service. The latter vessel at 9957 GRT is rather small for this trade.

[Stephen Chester]

Another vessel added to the Capricorn Service is "MSC Banu" IMO 9263332.

[Stephen Chester]

ANL's contribution to the KIX/NZS schedule is "ANL Waratah" IMO 9326794.

[Stephen Chester]

I notice that Norfolk Guardian is not doing a voyage to the Chatham Islands from Timaru in November. Instead the coastal bulker Anatoki is set down to load in Timaru December 1st for the Chathams. Anyone know what is going on here?
Note: She is also loading again December 10th.

[Stephen Chester]

The "Malte Rambow" IMO 9306263 is transferring to MSC's Kiwi Service to replace Mekong River.

[Stephen Chester]

The CMA CGM contribution to the KIX/NZS service the "Harmonia Calabria" IMO 9477309.

[Stephen Chester]

On the ANZEX service the JPO Pisces is being replaced by "AS Mariella" IMO 9484510

[Stephen Chester]

Liwia P is to be replaced by "Alexandra" IMO 9225407 on their service to Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas.
