Dear Valued Client,
Due to the ongoing Industrial Action at DP World and delays to berth availability, MAERSK INNOSHIMA 343S/348N will omit Sydney to mitigate any further impact to forward scheduling. The vessel will also perform an inducement call at Brisbane Patrick terminal to enable discharge of Brisbane/Sydney/Adelaide and Fremantle import cargo for routing via Brisbane connections as mentioned further below.
Following the completion of Melbourne operations, the vessel will proceed directly to Port Chalmers, New Zealand, and onward through to the scheduled OC1 port calls.
The tentative schedule for MAERSK INNOSHIMA 343S/348N isexpected to be as follows:

10-Dec |
11-Dec |

343S/348N |

The contingency plan secured for the affected cargo will be as follows:
- Sydney exports will load Southern Star vessel MAERSK RIO DELTA 349N to discharge at Tauranga to connect to MAERSK INNOSHIMA 348N.
- Sydney imports will discharge from MAERSK INNOSHIMA 343Sat Brisbane to connect SANTA BARBARA 347N for Sydney discharge.
- Brisbane imports (previously via Sydney) will discharge fromMAERSK INNOSHIMA 343Sdirectly at Brisbane.
- Adelaide and Fremantle imports (previously via Sydney) will discharge from MAERSK INNOSHIMA 343Sat Brisbane to connect the SANTA BARBARA 347N to Sydney to then connect to the Greater Australia Connect (GAC) service for Adelaide and Fremantle discharge.
