Maersk is introducing a 7TH vessel to the weekly Southern Star service - Revised berthing windows and cut-offs

13 January 2020

To improve schedule reliability and deliver your cargo on time Maersk is introducing a 7th vessel to the weekly Southern Star service. In the same time we will be adding port of Timaru as a permanent port call on the Southern Star service rotation.

The new rotation of the Maersk Southern Star service will be Tanjung Pelepas > Singapore > Brisbane > Sydney > Tauranga > Napier > Lyttelton > Timaru > Lyttelton > Port Chalmers > Tanjung Pelepas.

The schedule changes will naturally mean some adjustment to the timings of our port calls and transit times, though we have done our utmost to minimize the impact to our customers.

Please be advised of the new berthing windows and cut-off details:

PORT	Proforma ETA	Proforma ETD	Loadlist Info Deadline	Cargo & VGM cut-off
PORT Tauranga	Proforma ETA Mon 1500	Proforma ETD Wed 0100	Loadlist Info Deadline Fri 1600	Cargo & VGM cut-off Auckland Metroport: Fri 0300 Tauranga: Sun 1500
