Southern Star SFL Maui 352S/403N Sydney Omission and Vessel Swap with Rio Bravo 351S/402N

We wish to advise that due to delays arising from the DP World Industrial Action, the Sydney berth window for RIO BRAVO 351S/402N has been heavily impacted.

To mitigate any further impact to the schedule and to avoid a slide on the Southern Star service, RIO BRAVO 351S/402N will perform a position swap with SFL MAUI 352S/403N from Tauranga onwards, with RIO BRAVO 351S/402N calling Sydney in the previous position of SFL MAUI 352S/403N.

SFL MAUI 352S/403N will now omit Sydney to mitigate any further impact to scheduling.

There will also be a voyage number swap for RIO BRAVO 402N/406S and SFL MAUI 403N/407S from the northbound voyages onwards, to become RIO BRAVO 403N/407S and SFL MAUI 402N/406S and so on.

The revised schedule* is expected to be as follows:

*Schedule is indicative and is subject to change

• Sydney imports from the hubs on RIO BRAVO 351S will discharge as planned but with a 7-day delay.
• Sydney imports previously on SFL MAUI 352S will be transferred at the hubs to MAERSK RIO DELTA 401S or HERTA 351S, depending on availability.
• Sydney exports previously on RIO BRAVO 402N will be updated to load RIO BRAVO 403N with a 7-day delay.
• Sydney exports previously on SFL MAUI 403N will be updated to load RIO BRAVO 403N with no delay to cargo.
• New Zealand imports from the hubs on RIO BRAVO 351S will discharge as planned but with a 7-day delay.
• New Zealand imports previously on SFL MAUI 352S from the hubs will still load as planned but will arrive 7-days earlier into New Zealand.
• New Zealand exports previously on SFL MAUI 403N will be updated to load RIO BRAVO 403N with no delay to cargo.
• New Zealand exports previously on RIO BRAVO 402N will be updated to load SFL MAUI 402N with no delay to cargo.
