Northern Star Service – Maersk Ningbo 536S/538N Asia - Oceania Network

We would like to inform you of a temporary adjustment to our Northern Star service for the Maersk Ningbo v536S/538N sailings scheduled in September.

Southbound Updates

In connection with the upcoming Golden Week holiday and in response to demand fluctuations, we’ve updated the port rotation as follows.

The revised rotation is: Shanghai – Hong Kong – Brisbane – Shanghai.

As part of this adjustment, New Zealand ports will not be called on this specific sailing. However, all New Zealand-bound cargo will tranship via Hong Kong or Brisbane and connect to the following Northern Star vessel – ANAXAGORAS 537S. This ensures the same departure week from origin, with only a one-week extended transit time to New Zealand.

To minimise any disruption, bookings to New Zealand will be automatically transferred to the next available sailing to maintain service continuity and keep your cargo moving smoothly.

Northbound Updates

The impacted voyage will be blanked in response to demand fluctuations. Alternative coverage has been arranged via the following Northern Star sailing ANAXAGORAS 539N, along with loading on OC1 vessel SPIRIT OF AUCKLAND 539N for Timaru exports and J-Star vessel COSCO FELIXSTOWE 199N for Brisbane exports to Auckland.
