Maersk Line announces service improvements
As part of ongoing improvements to its network structure, Maersk Line today announced changes to its Oceania service to North America (OC1), as well as changes to its Asian hub service to Tanjung Pelepas (NZ1).
The changes to the OC1 service will offer New Zealand customers greater coverage of North American markets with new direct calls to Newark and Miami, in addition to the current port calls to Philadelphia, Norfolk and Savannah.
Maersk New Zealand Managing Director Tony Gibson says the service upgrade reflects Maersk’s continual focus on improving its level of service to customers both in terms of port coverage and transit times.
The new rotation, effective from July, will be Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, New Plymouth, Timaru, Port Chalmers, Napier, Auckland, Balboa, Miami, Philadelphia, Newark, Norfolk Savannah, Balboa, Auckland.
Changes to the NZ1 Pelepas service to Asia include integration of that service with the new OC1 service to North America.
To ensure schedule reliability to and from Asia the NZ1 service will no longer call at Napier. Napier will instead be covered on the OC1 service, by feeding cargo to Auckland to connect to the NZ1 service.
As of July 2007 the new NZ1 rotation will be Tanjung Pelepas, Singapore, Brisbane, Auckland, Port Chalmers, Tanjung Pelepas.
