Due to ongoing industrial action at the Sydney container terminals, Maersk have decided to drop the port from their OC1 ECNA/Latin America schedule. The vessels will instead call at Brisbane, as well as the Melbourne call. Containers for discharge and load in Sydney will be transhipped through Tauranga on the Polaris service. To accomodate the increased container volume they are adding a fourth vessel to the Polaris schedule and adding the call into Tauranga.
The new vessel will be Archer IMO 9338058, and she will slot in at the end of January.
