OC1 Service Spirit of Auckland 346S/351N and Maersk Wellington 347S/352N vessel swap, Spirit of Auckland 346S/351N Port Chalmers omission and Maersk Wellington 347S/352N Sydney and Melbourne omissions

Due to ongoing delays arising from the DP World Industrial Action, the Sydney and Melbourne berthing windows for SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 346S/351N have been significantly affected.

To mitigate any further delays to overall OC1 scheduling, SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 346S/351N will perform a position swap with MAERSK WELLINGTON 347S/352N from Sydney onwards.

In addition, MAERSK WELLINGTON 347S/352N will omit Sydney and Melbourne, with SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 346S/351N also omitting Port Chalmers to assist with schedule recovery.

The revised schedule* is expected to be as follows:

*Schedule is indicative and is subject to change

• Sydney and Melbourne exports previously on SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 351N will continue to load on this vessel, but as per the revised schedule.
• Melbourne exports to Port Chalmers previously on SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 351N will be updated to load MAERSK RUBICON 349N to connect to the Southern Star service at Tauranga for Port Chalmers discharge.
• Port Chalmers and Tauranga exports previously on SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 351N will be updated to load MAERSK WELLINGTON 352N with no delay to cargo.
• Sydney and Melbourne exports previously on MAERSK WELLINGTON 352N will be updated to load MAERSK BOGOR 401N.
• Port Chalmers exports previously on MAERSK WELLINGTON 352N will be updated to load MAERSK BOGOR 401N.
• Tauranga exports previously on MAERSK WELLINGTON 352N will be updated to load SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 351N with no delay to cargo.
• Sydney and Melbourne imports previously on MAERSK WELLINGTON 347S will be discharged at Tauranga to connect the next available OC1 vessel.
