-
The Southern Lily replacement is the Kota Ratu IMO 9167435.

-
Looks like Cap Blanche IMO 9311775 28,372/06 2,742 is going to be the seventh ship on the OVSA Pacific South West String - starts in Melbourne 20/2. Doesnt appear to be replacing anything - another unit of Aker Oostsee built for FESCO but taken over by HSUD.
-
Annabelle Schulte is to replace Cap Palliser on the WCNA run.
It appears that Mediterranean Shipping will now not replace the MSC Palermo with the MSC Anafi.
The new Forum Pacific is the old Sofrana Bligh IMO 8506452 now trading as Charelle.

Is the Italia (IMO 8806785) replacing another vessel or is she a new comer?
Regards Robbie
-
Italia is replacing MSC Palermo on the Capricorn Service.
MSC Palermo is going on to the Kiwi Service as a replacement for MSC Hobart.
MSC Anafi was going to come on to the Capricorn Service, and that was changed to the Kiwi Service, but then didn't come this way at all.

OOCL New Zealand will replace OOCL Melbourne on the Asia run to Singapore and Port Klang. She has twice the container capacity at 4500 teu. Interesting to see if the other lines follow suit.
-
Pacific Harmony,( ex Coral Chief ), will be added to Swire's South East Asia service from New Zealand. Tasman Commander will transfer to the Australian run.
-
According to an announcement from one of the partners involved in the NZX Service, the OOCL New Zealand will only be a temporary replacement.
At 4578 TEU she would be the second largest container ship to visit New Zealand, and her capacity far exceeds other vessels on that service, so maybe she is catering for seasonal demands.
Regards
Tony
-
Marfret are replacing the Marfret Provence with the Marfret Sormiou on the PAD service operated by CMA CGM
ETA NZ May
-
OOCL are also providing extra loaders and have the El Zorro (ex New Zealand Star) loading Auckland and Napier.
I also believe that they also have a second vessel scheduled.
-
HSUD extra loaders on 'Trident' will be the Bahia Negra and the Cap Vilano , visiting both Aust and NZ in April.Looks like Cap Reinga is to be replaced as well.
-
Swire Shipping have announced changes to their Trans Tasman and South East Asian services.
The chartered Pacific Chief and Tasman Chief will be off hired in May and replaced by Tasman Endeavour and Tasman Provider which are currently on the South East Asia sevice.
In turn, the Tasman Endeavour and Tasman Provider will be replaced by two B170 type vessels.
Also of interest, the Pacific Harmony will revert to Coral Chief and join the Australia-PNG Service.
-
Nordwoge replaces Albert Rickmers in Melbourne on April 10 on the OVSA service to the NW coast of America.
-
Also the Natalie Schulte replaces the Cap Palmerston in May.
It seems the PNW String are all upsizing to vessels in the c2500 teu class.
-
The Sofrana Tourville is to be replaced by a new vessel that will take the same name. The old vessel will be renamed Sylvette for her final voyage 140 and will then head to China after discharge in the Pacific Islands. The new vessel will take over on 6th June in Brisbane. She was built in Korea in 2009 as Avra (IMO 9408372) and is GRT 9850 and DWT 12700. She has a capacity of 1037 teus incl. 180 reefer plugs. She also has three 40 ton cranes.
-
It seems Pacifica has finally added Wellington to it's weekly run. The Spirit of Endurance will be making her maiden voyage on Monday.
-
Maybe that is to make up for the sale of the Kent.
Interesting to see your posting of the Kent with her new name of Ken.
Tony
-
I think you may be right, I was reading somewhere that the trade was not economical anymore but the Monte Stello would offer a Nelson-Wellington trade once a week to compensate.
The Ken was sold to the US based Exim company but is off to the Indian coast for beaking. As this ferry has been sailing the NZ coast for the last 9 years she is not ISPS compliant so the new owners are working on her while in port to get her up to a satafactory standard. Interestingly the Indian crew flown over to take the ship could not provide the appropriate documentaion for the internatinal voyage so Martime NZ has halted the inspection. Once she leaves Welington she will make a brief stop over in Western Australia for bunkers then continue to her final resting ground.
-
Kota Segar is being phased out of the NZX Service and will be replaced by Kota Pekarang.
-
Hello Tony,
Will her voyage at the start of May be her last? or will she be phased out over the next few months? I am still trying to get a half decent shot of her!
Regards Robbie
-
Hi Robbie
I believe her May voyage will be her last.
I don't have a decent shot either so hopefully between us we can get one

More interesting changes :-)
King Alfred,(ex CMA CGM Kepler) is to replace Cap Reinga on the WCNA run.
Maersk Fuji is to come off the Pacific Island feeder run and return to Singapore. She is to be replaced by Maersk Fukuoka, which will in turn be replaced by Maersk Aderdeen on the Australian run.
-
And then Cap Reinga will become an extra loader ex Aust / NZ for the EC of North America.
-
Nona (IMO 9321471), a new entrant on the WCNA run is to change her name to ANL Bindana.
-
MSC America is to be replaced by the Buxlink on the Capricorn Service
-
It has now been decided that Buxlink will replace MSC Palermo on the Kiwi Service and MSC Palermo will transfer to the Capricorn service to replace MSC America. :-o
-
On the VSA King Alfred will rename ANL Birrong
-
MSC are replacing MSC Santhya with Sky Apollo and MSC Basel with Sky Jupiter on the Capricorn Service.
-
They must be running out of vessels that start with MSC. :-D
Sky Apollo is the old Nedlloyd Clement. Sky Jupiter is the old P&O Nedlloyd Brisbane and latterly Maersk Nara. She has two funnels. :-)
-
JPO Leo is to be replaced by the HS Wagner on the North Asia Service

California Mercury is scheduled for the scrapyard at the end of the year.
Earlier she was reported as due for demolition in June but it appears that has been put back.
-
Maersk are to add a fourth vessel to their New Zealand coastal and Trans Tasman schedule, and will also be adding the port of Brisbane to the schedule. The vessel will be the JRS Pegasus. The only reference I can find to a ship of this name is now trading as CCL Moji, so not sure if it will be this vessel or not. Watch this space. :-)
-
The OOCL New Zealand is on her last trip and the OOCL Melbourne will return to the service
-
The charter of HS Wagner has been extended and JPO Leo won't be returning any time soon.
-
The new addition to the Maersk Trans Tasman fleet is in fact the CCL Moji IMO 9387592, that will be renamed JRS Pegasus. She is a larger sister ship to Spirit of Endurance, that was also named CCL Moji.
-
Maersk Duffield is to be replaced by Maersk Dunbar at the end of September on the run to Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas. Maersk Damascus is to be replaced by Maersk Duncan.
-
The Maersk Duncan is to be chartered by MISC, before taking up her new schedule between NZ and Tanjung Pelepas and Singapore. She was to be renamed Bunga Raya Dua Belas, but this may now not happen.
-
MSC Martina is to join the Capricorn Service at the end of the month.
-
The last vessel to be replaced on the Maersk South East Asia run is the Maersk Denton. She is to be replaced by Maersk Dabou. We will then have all the four 2005 built sisters trading out of Auckland, with a 4132teu capacity each.
-
Hi Stevie
Maersk have advised that Maersk Duncan will load under this name on her first NZ voyage. A lot of concern amongst exporters that while replacement vessels have same total capacity as the outgoing fleet, they can only carry 500 TEU reefers compared to 1,300 on the 4100's they replace.
Also master of JPO Leo believes now remaining on current Australian trade so possibly some other change to take place in this case.
Cheers
Brent

Hi All
I was surprise to see on Kiwi Car Carriers site the Saracen Star IMO 8217556 was due in Auckland on 3 September. According to Ship-Breaking.com publication #20 page 35 she was broken up in India in May 2010 getting a price of 405$ US per ton. Did the sale not go through and she was put back in service?

According to LMIU it would appear she is still trading.

Maersk Dominica has been renamed Cap Roberta

All has become clear. The Cap Mondego will do a southbound from ECNA in place of the Cap Byron. She will then load in NZ for Japan to replace Cap Capricorn. The Cap Capricorn will do a southbound from Japan and then load in NZ for a northbound voyage to ECNA to replace Cap Byron.
