Maersk vessel to omit Napier due to weather conditions

Maersk announced that due to the ongoing impact of current weather conditions and high swells on shipping movements at Napier port in Australia, the Liberia-flagged, 6,900 TEU container ship SFL Maui 323S/325N will omit Napier on Southern Star service.

Maersk said it took this decision to “mitigate any further disruption to scheduling and to avoid a potential slide on the service.”

The Danish ocean carrier noted that the following contingency routing has been secured for affected bookings:

  • Napier exports will update to the 4,650 TEU vessel Maersk Makutu 326N with cargo routing via Far East Asia (FEA) ports or via Tauranga through connecting services.
  • Napier imports ex-Tauranga will continue to load SFL Maui 325N and will discharge in Lyttelton and load NYK Fushimi 119N for delivery to Napier.
  • Napier imports ex-South-East Asia hubs / ex-Sydney on SFL Maui 322S/324N will discharge at Lyttelton and load at the 4,538 TEU boxship NYK Fushimi 119N for delivery to Napier.
