Re-launch of the Polaris service

Following continued disruption to our ocean network in New Zealand, and in response to the severe weather events in the North Island, we wish to advise our customers of re-starting the Polaris service.

The Polaris service will assist to minimize customer impact from the current operational disruption while continuing to connect our customers supply chains during the upcoming New Zealand export season, by increasing network flexibility across Australia and New Zealand.
