New and Newish Wallenius Wilhelmsen vehicle carriers coming to Auckland.

As Stephen has noted in a previous post, the Wilhelmsen RoRo "Tiger" IMO 9505039 is scheduled to arrive in Auckland on 21 Sept.
The "Tugela" IMO 9505065 is due in Auckland on 7 October. Both of these newbuilds will on their first visit here. HenkR has put a photo of the Tugela on the site in the last couple of days.Tugela looks to be a sister ship of the Tonsberg,one of the new series of larger  Mark 5 RoRo's that are being built at the  Mitsubishi Nagasaki yard. These have a higher ramp loading weight for heavy machinery than the normal PTCC's.
"Tonsberg", IMO 9515383 is due in Auckland in 25th October, "Carmen" IMO 950 5027 is due on 6 November. These two will be on their second visit here, and all 4 are 2011 deliveries.

The next vessel to be named for CMA CGM's Asia service is "Catena" IMO 9430868.

[Stephen Chester]

"Jule" ex "Southern Pasifika" IMO 9264245, has been taken on charter by Pacific Direct Line for their schedule from Auckland to Papeete. She is making one call into Nuku'alofa on voyage 1 to offload overflow cargo from Southern Lily 2.
This means they will no longer take slots on Maersk's "Yellow Moon".

The Hansa Coburg is due in NZ at the start of October so I am guesing she is another for the CMA CGM ANZEX service.

Also the Jule arrived in Tauranga last week for bunkering. I have had a look but can not seem to find what ports she will be visiting. It states she will be a dedicated NZ to Papette service but no ports except Auckland have been mentioned.

[Stephen Chester]

Hansa Coburg see reply #70.
Jule see reply #78.

[Stephen Chester]

More changes in the Pacific Island trades. Pacific Direct Line are still having mechanical trouble with "Jule". Therefore they have chartered space on Seatrade's  "Comoros Stream" IMO 9167801 for one voyage to Papeete. She will load in Auckland 18th September.
Reef Shipping's "Southern Reef",IMO 9141704, ex Ratstor, ex Forum Fiji,will start a service from Auckland to Lautoka, Suva, Vila, and Santo. This will commence from voyage 110 loading Auckland 5th November.
Before this on voyage 109, she will sail from Tauranga to Christmas Island, then Nuku'alofa and back to Tauranga to start voyage 110. 

[Stephen Chester]

There seems to be a new Pacific Island service started from Auckland. The "St Theresa",IMO 7805095, Tongan flagged, and operated by Jaws South Pacific Ltd, is now on voyage 2 south.
This is the third time she has visited Auckland and is due again at Jellicoe Wharf on 19th September.
Does anyone know anything about this service?

[Stephen Chester]

The latest addition to CMA CGM's ANZEX service is "San Aurelio" IMO 9347281.

[Stephen Chester]

All did not go well for Pacific Direct Line and their charter of "Jule" IMO 9264245. She sailed from Auckland on 15th September for Singapore via Torres Strait.
The first replacement vessel, as mentioned above, was Seatrade's "Comoros Steam". The next vessel is "Atlantic Klipper" IMO 9454761. She is also a Seatrade vessel and loads in Auckland on 27th September for discharge in Papeete 8th October.
The Seatrade vessels load kiwifruit in Tauranga for Europe before loading in Auckland.
I don't think this will be a permanent arrangement as kiwifruit is only a seasonal cargo.

Here you can see a photo taken by me of the Comoros Steam (the vessel that replaced Jule for one voyage to Papeete) arriving into Auckland on the 17/09/2011

[Stephen Chester]

Further to Pacific Direct Lines Tahiti trade. They have chartered the "BBC Baltic" IMO 9427093 to do several voyages to Papeete. Also they have chartered space on Seatrade's "Baltic Klipper" IMO 9454759.

[Robbie]

The fourth vessel with a load of train wagons is at the Port of Tauranga at the momement. BBC Baltic has just arrived infront of her sister BBC Rio Grande which also has a cargo of new wagons. I read somewhere there will be a total of 8 ships bringnig in the new trains and wagons from Dalian.

MSC are spoiling us for choice with more changes on the Capricorn Service

New vessels scheduled are MSC Nora, Maxine and the return of Antonia Schulte.

The Maxine appears to be the former APL Beijing and if that is the case then she would be the largest container ship to visit Napier with a capacity of over 5,000 TEU

It's a bit hard to work out which vessels are being replaced but it looks like Sydney, Italia and MSC Didem (which hasn't completed her first trip yet and appears to be a One-off)

[Stephen Chester]

The latest vessel announced for CMA CGM's ANZEX service is "Maria-Katharina S" IMO 9429326. Unlike the other vessels she will commence her voyage in Port Chalmers on 2nd November.
