Vessel that have visted NZ and are being replaced 2011

[Stephen Chester]

The Kota Pekarang IMO 9315836 is being replaced by Kota Permasan IMO 9343077. She is due in Auckland 4th September 2011.

[Stephen Chester]

Maersk are using the Maersk Izmir IMO 9348168 to do one voyage on the South East Asia run. She is due to load Auckland, Lyttelton and Port Chalmers early August.

[Stephen Chester]

As is the interesting world of shipping, the Irenes Rainbow and Maersk Jenaz have been taken out of the South East Asia schedule before they arrived and transferred to other trades. I am sure there will be other vessels added to this run as they are short for a weekly fixed day schedule.

[Stephen Chester]

CMA CGM now have the "Hansa Meersburg" (IMO 9373462) as their first vessel on the ANZEX schedule replacing "Anglia". This vessel is operated by Delmas. She has sailed from Durban and is due to load in Port Kelang for NZ on 18th July. The second vessel is a new build, 2011,  "Hansa Salzburg". I can't locate an IMO for her yet.

The last two vessels announced for Maersk's South East Asia run are "Marianne Schulte" and "Calandra".

[Stephen Chester]

The "Ocean Bright" is to be replaced on the ANL/MSC schedule from Australia to NZ by "ANL Benalla". This vessel will load in Sydney on 15th August. She is not listed under this name at present, so must be trading under another name.
This vessel is the "Pontremoli" IMO 9334519 ex "Gulf Bridge".

[Stephen Chester]

Two of the vessels previously advised for Maersk's South East Asia run have been identified.
The "Calandra" is ex "POS Melbourne" IMO 9445887. Loading Tanjung Pelepas 26th July.
The "AS Carelia" is ex "CMA CGM Tulip" IMO 9309409. Loading Tanjung Pelepas 2nd August.

"Ratstor" IMO 9141704 has been renamed "Southern Reef". She will sail from Auckland on 26th July for Suva and take up the run to Nauru, Noro and Honiara at present done by "Southern Tiare". There is no news at present on the fate of "Southern Tiare".

[Stephen Chester]

Wallenius Wilhelmsen are bringing their new build vehicle carrier to Auckland. She is called "Tiger" IMO 9505039 and she is due 16th September from Manzanillo.

[Stephen Chester]

Maersk have dropped Port Chalmers and New Plymouth from their Trans Tasman schedule. They will now only call Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, Nelson and Auckland again before returning to Australia. They are also off hiring the JRS Pegasus in Brisbane. The schedule will operate with the Maersk Aberdeen, Maersk Radford and BC San Francisco.

[Stephen Chester]

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

[Brent]

Southern Tiare has been chartered out for a new service from Cairns to Papua New Guinea.

Maersk have advised the JRS Pegasus has suffered mechanical problems, believed to be a rudder issue, and had fallen behind schedule by 5 days. It has now been decided to send her to drydock for repair and cancel the rest of her July schedule. No mention how this affects Maersk's previously mentioned service changes.  

[Stephen Chester]

The latest addition to Maersk's South East Asia schedule is the "Welle" ex Nordwelle IMO 9294537.The Ports of Auckland have her arriving 11th August.

[Stephen Chester]

The JRS Pegasus is in dry dock in Brisbane from 16th July to 6th August. She will now do one more Trans Tasman voyage, because BC San Francisco goes into dry dock in Brisbane from 16th to 26th August. The JRS Pegasus will now be off hired in Melbourne on 2nd September.
