OC1 Oceania to Americas direct Sydney coverage returns

We are pleased to inform you that we will be making a change to our OC1 service as we continue to adjust our network in light of the current operational normalization in Australia in order to deliver the best solutions to your supply chain needs.

The OC1 service, connecting Oceania with Latin America and the US East Coast, will re-introduce a weekly port call in Sydney, Australia. This addition will restore direct service between Sydney and New Zealand, Latin America and the US East Coast.

The current port call in Brisbane, Australia will be removed from the OC1 service rotation. Brisbane export cargo to Latin America and the US East Coast will be served by transshipment from the EAC onto the OC1 in Sydney. Brisbane import cargo will discharge from the OC1 in Sydney, Australia and transship on the EAC to Brisbane.

Current service rotation: Philadelphia, US – Charleston, US – Manzanillo, PA – Panama Rail service – Balboa, PA – Tauranga, NZ – Brisbane, AU – Melbourne, AU – Port Chalmers, NZ – Tauranga, NZ – Balboa, PA – Panama Rail service – Manzanillo, PA – Philadelphia, US.

New Service rotation: Philadelphia, US – Charleston, US – Manzanillo, PA – Panama Rail service – Balboa, PA – Tauranga, NZ – Sydney, AU – Melbourne, AU – Port Chalmers, NZ – Tauranga, NZ – Balboa, PA – Panama Rail service – Manzanillo, PA – Philadelphia, US.
