Here is the 2012 topic
-
Well done Aaron, this is a great thread for those of us in this part of the world.
Europe's not the only place where it all happens.
-
Maersk have added Irenes Remedy IMO 9315850 to their South East Asia to Aus/NZ run. She will replace "Olympia".
-
New build Wallenius Wilhelmsen PTCC's and RoRo's :
2011 built PTCC the new "Figaro" IMO 9505041 is in Auckland today 4th January, on the WWL Europe to Oceania service. This presumably replaces the old ship of the same name, IMO 7917563. This is a DSME built sistership to "Tiger" IMO 9505039 , "Tugela" IMO 9505065 and the new "Carmen" IMO 9505027 that have visited Auckland in the second half of 2011. These are 232m LoA, 71,600 Grt. Tugela's next scheduled visit is on 10 Feb, Carmen's on 9 March.
The new "Parsifal" IMO 9575395, the second of four contracted of the new Mark 5 RoRo's built by Mitsubishi Nagasaki yard is due in Auckland on 24 March. This is one size larger at 268m LoA, 76,500 Grt than the DSME ships and have a stronger ramp to load heavier machinery. Sistership "Tonsberg" IMO 9515383 is due in Auckland again on 21 February.
There is a new ship "Tysla" IMO 9515400 scheduled to visit Auckland on 24 April. I do not know if this is the third mark 5 RoRo of the four ordered or another DSME built PTCC.
The Wilhelmsen branded ships ( with names starting with a "T") are painted in orange and white, the Wallenius branded ships ( named after Opera's ) are painted in Green and white.

Nigel

ANL Burilla will offhire in Singapore after calling AKL / MEL / SYD / BNE.
Her replacement on the OVSA will be NSC Schiffahrts Pescara 9419797 , a 3534 Shanghai Chengxi class vessel - she is not expected to take on an ANL name however!
-
MSC's website is showing the E.R. Brisbane as the replacement for the MSC Monica on the Capricorn Service.
Another change that went by largely unnoticed was the withdrawal of the MSC Nora after just 2 voyages and her replecemnt with the return of the MSC Brasilia.
-
Maersk will replace Euro Max on the Asian service with Santa Belina mid February, she is one of the 52 member Hyundai Mipo class of 2800 TEU ships, and until a few months ago had been operating as Maersk Jamestown.

Swire Shipping are replacing the Tasman Spirit with another Spliethoff "A" class vessel on the Trans Tasman Service. The replacement vessel will be the Ankergracht and her new name is yet to be advised.

so shouldn't Rena be listed?? :P I mean, she *has* visited, and presumably will eventually be replaced...

Hi Sinisa
They were only ever chartered to Swire Shipping and still flew the Dutch flag

The Johanna Schepers IMO 9436305 is due in Bluff on 25th January to load containers. She is coming from Keelung and heading for Melbourne. Does anyone know what service she is on?
-
Stephen,
In June last year the Bernard Schepers loaded around 80 containers of SCL - Split Cell Lining which is a by product of the smelting process. It was loaded for Liverpool and she bunkered here on the way there. It is also used as an alternative fuel in the production od ceramic insulators, bricks and cement. My guess is that Melbourne is the next scheduled port she must be bunkering here as well
The service is run by SE Shipping ( Suzlon Energy - the movers of windmill equipment principally )of Singapore and was supposed to be every five weeks but it seems that was a little over optimistic
Pete

Thanks for the info Peter.
-
It is sad to see that the MV Jaguar, IMO 8416487, is lying at No7 wharf at Lyttleton in the process of being broken up. She was dry docked in August 2010 and emerged looking very good indeed. Unfortunately her owners went into receivership and there was no interest from anyone to purchase the vessel.
-
The latest addition to the Pacific Direct Line fleet is a vessel that they have previously had on charter. She is "Kota Darjah" IMO 9436874. She is to be renamed "Southern Cross" and partner "Southern Lily II" on the Pacific Islands run.
-
Looks like Auckland is having three Heavy Loaders in the next 12 days. I think there cargo would be Yachts or superyachts
Motion Scan is making her maiden call into Auckland tomorrow at 20:00 and departing on the 29/01/2012.
FLORIJNGRACHT is making a call into Auckland on the 02/02/2012 and departing on the 05/02/2012.

Also they are chartering slots on "Forum Pacific" for cargo to Rarotonga and Nuku'alofa.
-
The MSC Monica will do three voyages on the Trans Tasman Kiwi service before being replaced by E.R. Brisbane. She will then revert to the Capricorn schedule.
-
It would appear that the COSCO Fuzhou and COSCO Yingkou are to be drydocked and the HS Berlioz will cover for one voyage.
-
It appears as though the NYK Lyttelton (ex CSAV Rahue) is to be replaced by the CSAV Ranquil on the NZX Service while she goes into drydock.
-
Coastal Bulk Shipping's "Anatoki" is transporting coal cargoes for Bathurst Resources Ltd from Westport to New Plymouth. She is in New Plymouth every four days.
Does this mean that Coastal Bulk Shipping will need to get another vessel to operate their general fertiliser and aggregate trades on the coast? It is very difficult to find any news on this company, and the vessel movements.
-
Maersk have replaced "Angeles" IMO 9399791 with "Dahlia" IMO 9314959, on their Asia schedule. Unfortunately "Angeles" was replaced before she even got here. ???

Bahia Negra is schedule to get replaced in Savannah on the 23 May 2012 by Bahia.
Hamburg Sud have not replaced Bahia Grande on the Trident/ OC1 service.
-
Hi Aaron
From what I can make out the Hamburg-Sud "Bahia" vessels are being progressivly drydocked and replaced while out by other vessels to keep the schedule going for our peak export season. Bahia Grande went first when replaced 13.4 by Bahia Blanca. Then Bahia left on 1.5 and replaced by the returning Bahia Grande. She returned on 23.5 to r/p Bahia Negra which is not planned to return - so at this stage she is dropped and Bahia Blanca the newcomer. However Balthasar Schulte may only do one more trip so maybe Bahia Negra will slot back in for her. Maersk apparently have replacements lined up for their small contributions Irenes Remedy and Maersk Jaun, possibly within current voyages.
Lisa Schulte after ending her NZ charter has been chartered by Maersk so may still end up back in the NZ trade.
Cheers
Brent
-
Pacific International Line are adding the "Wehr Ottensen" IMO 9134634 to their US West Coast-Australia-NZ run calling at Tauranga in NZ.

Since March this year Port of Auckland has been exporting Ironsand to Asia and Australia. Here are some of the bulk carriers that have exported it or are going to.
The first vessel was the Couga (Built: 2010/Gross Tonnage: 29,104tons/Deadweight: 50,806tons/IMO 9414905/LOA:182.98m) that arrived on the 27 March 2012 and departed on the 30 March 2012.
The Second vessel was the Glarus (Built: 2001/Gross Tonnage: 27,011tons/Deadweight: 46,513tons/IMO 9220471/LOA: 189.80m) that arrived on the 15 April 2012 and departed on the 19 April 2012.
The third vessel is the Nena M (Built: 1995/Gross Tonnage: 25,503tons/Deadweight: 43,176tons/IMO: 9114139/LOA: 185.06m) is currently schedule to arrived on the 29 May 2012 and due to departed on the 02 June 2012
-
The Spirit of Resolution will now call at the port of Auckland instead of Onehunga
-
Hi Robbie
That's amazing. Do you know what the reason is for the change? It is quite a trek from New Plymouth around North Cape to Auckland.
-
Hi
Our company feeders at least 20 full reefers each sailing from New Plymouth, that is when it calls as sometimes like this week the portcall is cancelled and causes a real scramble and heartache to find alternative transport. Cargo is for containerships calling at Auckland (and some to Tauranga) with trucking from Onehunga across town to the container terminal necessary and usually needs to be same day such as for the Trident sailings to east coast USA each Friday. If a container is selected for customs x-ray then adds to the tension whether all can be achieved in a short space of time. Perhaps these issues lead to the decision to go to Auckland port, but then we have not been advised of the service change which is significant, as having a longer transit as mentioned will jeopardise the tight but beneficial quick connections.
Cheers
Brent
-
I do not know why they have changed the port of call, I have a friend who works for Pacifica and he has told me he will let me know why as soon as he finds out so watch this space.
-
Spirit of Resolution omitted Onehunga and called Auckland last month as she could not cross the Manukau Bar due to the weather conditions. The following voyage was LYT to Auckland only in order to make up lost time. Last week it was LYT - NPL and ONE. This week she is doing the a full voyage of LYT - NSN - NPL and ONE.
-
Maersk are introducing the "JanDavid S. IMO 9259381 to do one voyage from Tauranga, Lyttelton and Port Chalmers to Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas.

-
Evening
Josephine Maersk damaged in collision near Tanjung Pelepas and will need repair after completing current discharge at Singapore. She will be substituted for her new voyage presumably by the JanDavid S. The July voyage by Dahlia on southern star has been cancelled with the northbound leg to be undertaken by terminating transtasman vessel Maersk Aberdeen and Pacific Island trader Amazon River repositioning back to Singapore.
Cheers
Brent
-
"BC San Francisco" will transfer from the Trans Tasman run to take over from "Amazon River" on the Tahiti run on 27 June.
-
"Maersk Aberdeen" loads 4 July for Tanjung Pelepas and Singapore. "Amazon River" arrives Auckland 19 June from Papeete, and then loads Port Chalmers 8 July also for Tanjung Pelepas and Singapore. This will leave the "Maersk Radford" as the only vessel on the dedicated Trans Tasman run.

-
Swire Shipping have introduced the "MCP Famagusta" IMO 9371971 to the Trans Tasman trade. She will be calling at Nelson/Lyttelton/Tauranga and Marsden Point. Weather she is a permanent addition remains to be seen as only two voyages are listed at present.
-
Swire shipping are sending their Australia to Asia vessel "Pine 1" IMO 9438377 across the Tasman calling at Tauranga and Wellington in June.
-
Maersk are replacing "Tatiana Schulte" with "Maersk Jubail IMO 9349045 on the South East Asia schedule.
-
Natalie Schulte is being replaced by Cap Egmont on PNW service
-
"Cap Egmont" is the old "Cap Norte" IMO 9438377. I believe she will be renamed when she gets to Australia to commence voyage 855N.
-
"Maersk Radford" is finishing her Trans Tasman schedule in Auckland on 21 June, and heading for Singapore and then the Repair Yard.
-
Maersk are replacing "Dahlia" with a vessel yet TBA .The replacement for "Algarrobo" is "Maersk Jurong" IMO 9343089.
-
Evening
Understand Algarrobo has signficant damage and requires at least another week of repairs. Her cargo has been discharged and will be forwarded by other vessels and would appear vessel to be off-hired. She will be replaced by Maersk Jurong on her next berth.
Dahlia's export voyage is taken over by former transtasman vessels repositioning back to Singapore - Maersk Radford loading Tauranga, Amazon River ex Lyttelton.
Cheers

-
Swire Shipping are adding additional tonnage to their Australia-NZ run. They will be calling at Tauranga and Wellington. They are then loading on the North Asia schedule to China and Japan.

Between 1600 26 June and 0500 28 June, Ports of Auckland has 6 Car Carriers berthing.
They are:
Ruby Ace
Falstaff
Hoegh Trooper
Spring Wind
Trans Future 6
Definitely a berthing logistics nightmare. ???
-
Maersk are adding "Olga Maersk" IMO 9251614 to the OC1 North America schedule. She will be replacing "Irenes Rainbow" at Manzanillo.
-
Stephen,
You forgot the WWL PTCC "Carmen" IMO 9505027 in your line up of the 6 car carriers visiting the Port of Auckland over the next couple of days.
"Falstaff" at Bledisloe, "Ruby Ace" at Captain Cook, "Hoegh Trooper" at Freyberg, "Carmen" at Jellicoe, "Spring Wind" at Bledisloe, "Trans Future 6" at Captain Cook wharves according to the POAL website. There might be 4 -5 in port at one time on the 27th.
regards,
Nigel
-
Also on the OC1 Service, Maersk Jaun is to be replaced by Oluf Maersk
-
Maersk are placing "Aquitania" IMO 9178788 on the NZ1 Asia schedule doing one voyage from Auckland & Tauranga.
-
It looks like repairs to "Algarrobo" have been done to Maersk's satisfaction as she is down to load in Auckland on 6 July and Port Chalmers on 11 July. "Aquitania " will now load in Tauranga, Lyttelton & Port Chalmers.
-
I was chatting to the crew of the Algarrobo yesterday and they seem to think the crack is bad enough to still need to go to Asia for dry-docking. The deckie seemed to think they were going to Hong Kong for the dry-docking.
-
"Southern Reef" IMO 9141714 will begin a new Pacific Island schedule from Auckland on 14 July calling at Rarotonga and Papeete. This is a larger vessel than has been used in the past due to the completion of the extensions to the wharf at Rarotonga.
-
"Pacific Guardian" will load Auckland for Lautoka, Suva, Apia and Nuku'alofa on 10 July after extensive repairs that took over a month to complete. She has been chartered by Pacific Direct Line for one voyage to replace Southern Lily 2 which is undergoing repairs in PagoPago.
Reef Shipping will use the "Southern Reef" as their replacement vessel, and she will not start her Rarotonga/Papeete run until 29 July.
-
"Algarrobo" will also load Nelson as well as Auckland and Port Chalmers before heading to Tanjung Pelepas and Singapore.
-

They will be using "Southern Tiare" to Fiji/Samoa/Tonga/American Samoa, and are expecting a new vessel to join the fleet on 8 September. "Southern Reef" will do one voyage before taking up her new trade to Rarotonga and Papeete.
"Reef Express" will sail to Rarotonga and Niue & "Reef Nauru" along with "KOMAIWAI 2" will operate as feeder vessels from Suva. A new vessel to replace KOMAIWAI 2 is expected in Suva on 3 September.

The new vessel "Reef Samoa", is believed to be "Jule" ex "Southern Pasifika" IMO 9264245, that used to trade regularly between Auckland and the Pacific Islands.
The number of Pacific Island traders through Auckland is now getting to the level we used to see before containerisation.
-

-
Looking at this article (http://www.mscnewzealand.com/_library/news/notices/3599BUC.pdf) from MSC NZ website I see that Merkur Sky will leave the Kiwi Serivce and go over to the Capricorn Service as a replacement of MSC Brasilia that will go over to the Kiwi Serivce.
-
It looks like "MSC Brasilia" will only do one voyage on the Kiwi Service as voyages 1224 and 1226 are vessel TBA.
"Merkur Sky" may only do one northbound voyage on the Capricorn service as voyage 1240R is TBA.
She is also shown on one schedule as voyage 1237R, but that vessel is now MSC Jenny.
-
"Merkur Sky" will stay on the Capricorn Service. She is to be joined by "MSC Eloise" IMO 8917778. This vessel last visited NZ as "Maersk Niigata" and previously as "Arafura".
It looks like "MSC Brasilia" will also stay on the Kiwi service.
-
"Pacific Navigator" IMO 9102514 is to be renamed "Nanchang" on 7 August 2012.

-
MSC have announced that they will start calling at Timaru and cut Wellington from the Capricoen Service.
The Komodo looks as though it will only be doing one trip and her place will be taken by the MSC Brasilia.
Finally the E.R. Darwin which was originally scheduled to go on the Capricorn Service and is now going on the Kiwi Service instead, is to be replaced by the MSC Jenny. This is about the third time MSC have scheduled her for this service but she has always been replaced before getting here.
-
On the Kiwi Service MSC have changed port rotations. They will now call New Plymouth after Nelson and then on to Auckland.
The "Hoheplate" will be replaced after the voyage calling Tauranga 25 September. A replacement vessel is yet to be announced.
-

The Tsakos charterd trio MSC Brasilia, MSC Sardinia and MSC London operated by MSC are scheduled for scrapping at the end of their charters early in 2012. The MSC Brasilia has already been transferred to a Laem Chabang / Singapore shuttle service pending delivery with MSC London to either follow or seek short-term employment on China trades. The MSC Brasilia was to also undertake short-haul Asian service work but now appears enough time prior to delivery to make a further trip on the Australasian Capricorn service. Another Capricorn vessel Merkur Sky has also been sold for scrap, but unlike the MSC's she was only 17 years old whereas the Tsakos trio are around 26 years.
-
Looking at the NZX Schedule, it appears Herman Wulff is to be replaced by CSAV Lonquimay.
-
Further to Brent's article on the 6/10 about the MSC chartered vessels, the MSC London has been withdrawn and is to be replaced by the White Sea (IMO 9125592).
-
MSC Brasilia is to be replaced by E.R. Fremantle

Reef Shipping's new vessel for their feeder service from Fiji to Micronesia is Pacifica Shipping's coastal vessel "Spirit of Resolution" IMO 9139127. She is due to berth at Freyberg Wharf Auckland on 29 October to load for her delivery voyage to Suva. She will be renamed "Reef Nauru II".
The current "Reef Nauru" the old "Southern Express" IMO 8506464 will be renamed "Reef Fiji" to commence a new service from Tauranga and Auckland to Fiji and then Vila and Santo. The "Southern Tiare" which is at present on this run will be placed on a dedicated Auckland to Niue service.
So..... this raises the question. What are Pacifica Shipping going to use on their South Island West Coast service to Onehunga?
-
It amazes me that there has been no Press Release or comment about "Spirit of Resolution" transferring to Reef Shipping and what this means for coastal shipping in New Zealand. :o
-
Spirit of Resolution is going into Onehunga port to discharge her coastal cargo. She will be there for four days before heading around to Auckland. Ports of Auckland now have her arriving from Onehunga as "Reef Nauru", so it appears crew change , renaming and hand over to new owners will happen at Onehunga.
-
It looks like "Reef Nauru II" ex Spirit of Resolution, will sail direct from Onehunga to Suva. ETD 31 October.
-
Pacific International Lines has added the "Hansa Papenburg" IMO 9357858 to their USWC to Australia/NZ run.
-
My understanding is that Pacifica are looking at suitable vessels to replace Spirit of Resolution and maintain the west coast service. The ships crew are "on holiday" and not paid off indicating they will be required again.
-
Pacific Direct Line are introducing a new vessel for a Cook Islands and American Samoa service.
She is the "Antung" ex Scarlett Lucy IMO 8912871. She will be renamed "Tiare Moana", which was the name of the vessel used by the now defunct Shipping Corporation of New Zealand.
She will load in Auckland 27 November for Rarotonga, Aitutaki and PagoPago.
Pacific Direct also have her calling at Penrhyn Island, Rakahanga, PukaPuka, Manahiki and Nassau in the Cook Islands.
-
Swire Shippings replacement for the Antung is the Onego Sirocco ex MCP London IMO 9371957. She has also been renamed "Antung"
-
MSC to are replace the MSC Monica with the MSC Regina (IMO 9202651) on the Capricorn Service.
She is due Bluff 29/12
-
Reef Shipping's move to a "stand alone" shipping company seems to have fizzled out a bit. Their schedule has gone from a six vessel operation, down to three.
The "Southern Tiare" is laid up in Auckland with engine trouble, ETD 21 November? This necessitated her cargo for Niue and Tonga being shipped on the newly acquired "Reef Nauru II".
There is no forward schedule for "Reef Nauru" or "Reef Express" although the latter will do one voyage from Auckland to Suva, Vila and Santo.
Their latest schedule has "Southern Reef" now doing Auckland-Papeete-Rarotonga-Aitutaki-Niue-Auckland.
The "Reef Samoa" will do Tauranga-Auckland-Lautoka-Suva-Apia-Pago Pago-Vavau-Nukualofa-Tauranga.
The new "Reef Nauru II" will do the feeder service from Suva to Micronesia, Nauru and the Solomon Islands.

**********STOP PRESS***********
From Pacifica Shipping
http://www.pacship.co.nz/
The new vessel does not appear to have her own cranes. How will this work in the Port of Onehunga?
-
The "Spirit of Independence" will not call at Onehunga. The ship LOA is to large and no cranes onboard for Onehunga. Port of Onehunga will be visited now only by cement ships and maybe occassionally by the "Anatoki".
-
Re:Reef Shipping.
"Reef Nauru" is heading to China for dry docking.
"Southern Tiare" is still in Auckland under going engine repairs.
-
Interesting on the Marsden Point port website:
Anatoki arrive 22/11/2012 - 12:00 Depart 24/11/2012 - 03:00 MP 1 Coastal Bulk Shipping Dolomite (Discharge) Cement (Load)
Arrive from Tarakohe Depart for Sea (anyone no where she is headed?)
I presume the cement must be bagged.
The bulk cement carrier "Golden Bay" is in dry dock and annual survey until at least the middle of December, so other means of getting cement around the coast must be found.
The Holcim bulk cement carrier "Westport" is arriving from Onehunga to load a cargo to take to Napier.
