Dear Valued Customer,
Due to a tugboat breakdown at Papeete, the Papeete berth for SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N is expected to be significantly delayed. Therefore, SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N will perform a Papeete omission to mitigate further delays to the onward schedule.
For Papeete coverage, MATE 439N will perform a Papeete inducement, currently scheduled for 31-Oct.
Furthermore, due to an operational adjustment, SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N will perform a 1-week slide at Tauranga, with the Tauranga berth now scheduled for 17-Oct. SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N will also be inducing Seattle.
The revised schedule* is expected to be as follows:
*Schedule is indicative and is subject to change.
The below contingency routings have been secured for affected cargo:
- Papeete import cargo onboard SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N will be discharged at Tauranga to load on MATE 439N.
- Tauranga to Papeete shipments previously booked on SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N will be updated to MATE 439N.
- Export shipments to Seattle/Oakland/Long Beach transhipping at Tauranga will be advanced from MATE 439N to SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N ex Tauranga where feasible.
- Export shipments to Surrey/Oakland/Long Beach, scheduled to load SEATTLE EXPRESS 437N ex Tauranga, will continue to load on this vessel as planned, but as per the revised schedule.
- NZ and Fiji import shipments scheduled to discharge from SEATTLE EXPRESS 432S/437N at Tauranga will continue to discharge from the vessel as planned, but as per the revised schedule. Onward connections will be re-planned as required.
