CAP BEATRICE is going to be replaced by BAHIA GRANDE

OOCL New Zealand has replace the OOCL Melbourne on the Asia run to Singapore and Port Klang again.

Nedlloyd Maxima (built: 2004/Teu Capacity: 2556teu) a peak season extra loader for Maersk will arrive in New Zealand in late March

It would appear that a number of changes are in the pipeline to the OC1 Service.

One line has advertised the Cap Bon (ex PSW), Cap Bianco, Cap Capricorn and Cap Beaufort (all ex OC1) Plus one unamed vessel as extra loaders for the North Asian Service.

Maersk Brani is also an extra loader for Maersk.

Cap Bon is to be replaced by Cap Pasado and also on the PSW Service Itaji Express is to be replaced by E.R. Cannes.

There have been suggestions that Hamburg-Sud will deploy more of the "Bahia" class on the OC1 Service but that has yet to be confirmed, but it would appear that there will definitely be changes.

Further to my earlier post, I have heard unofficially that the Bahia, Bahia Laura and Bahia Negra will be joining the OC1/Trident Service.

Maersk are now showing the Cap Jervis on the OC1 schedule.

That would leave only 2 of the original class on that service, so it would not be surprising if they are eventually replaced as well.

In addition Hamburg-Sud are using the Cap Pasado as an extra loader on the Asia service before she goes on the PSW service.

The plot thickens on the OC1 Service.

The Port of Napier now shows the Cap Hamilton due 8/3 instead of the Cap Cleveland

ANL BINDANA is going to be replace by CMA CGM ANEMONE on the PSW service

I know it was reported that the California Mercury was to be scrapped in January of the this year. When the NYK Veronica appeared in Dec I thought that's it, she's gone.
However on Sunday night there she was again coming around North Head and looking absolutely sparkling!
I worked on her yesterday morning and after talking to the Mate, the scrapping was cancelled as she had had her charter extended by another 15mths. So she went into drydock and has emerged looking a million dollars.
Completely repainted , new anti-fouling, decks all done and gear re-furbished.
It's quite amazing.
I am rapt, but I do find quite unbelievable for such a change of fortune.

There are going to be some changes on the North Asian Service

NYK are to replace the ACX Diamond with the CSAV Rahue which is to be renamed on her second voyage.

Also it appears JPO Leo is to be replaced by Nordsummer

[Tony des Landes]

It would appear Nordsummer will join the service as MOL Summer
