The members of the Oceania Vessel Sharing Agreement are planning to add an additional ship to the weekly Pacific Southwest route between the west coast of North America and Australia/New Zealand.
The agreement is made up of container lines Hamburg Süd, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk Line, and ANL-USL, and the extra ship will join the service in late February, reported the Journal of Commerce.
The Pacific Southwest service will use seven 2,500-TEU vessels calling at Long Beach, Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Tauranga, Suva, Honolulu and Oakland. All stops will be weekly with the exception of Suva, which will be twice per month, and Honolulu which will be monthly.
In addition to the Pacific Southwest service, the group will continue to operate the fortnightly Pacific Northwest route with four vessels, calling at Seattle, Vancouver and Long Beach, then Tauranga, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. The return trip will stop at Auckland, Papeete (Tahiti), Ensenada (Mexico), Oakland and Seattle.
