Hamburg-Sud today issued a press release confirming this new coastal service operated by Spirit of Competition connecting Timaru to Lyttelton and Tauranga. A weekly service will include double-calls at TIM presumably feedering Asian containers over Lyttelton, then returning to TIM for containers to west coast North America to connecting at Tauranga. Wasn't clear on start-up date though Spirit of Canterbury did berth Auckland today showing destination Lyttelton.
