Seajade 1805/805A change of AUS port rotation
Further to our previous communication, the latest RTMU strike notice now covers the period of 13-21 March. In order to clear the growing back-log of import cargo at Tauranga, which is destined for Lyttelton, we will use our larger Tasman Star service vessel, RHL Aurora, to carry this cargo down to Timaru. Hence the RHL Aurora and the Seajade will swap positions at Tauranga.
Seajade 1805 was planned to call Lyttelton on 14 March. This vessel will now turn at Tauranga and head back to Australia. These two vessels will exchange cargo at Tauranga port over this coming weekend.
The RHL Aurora will omit Lyttelton and we will carry import cargo destined for Lyttelton down to Timaru. Customers will need to take delivery of cargo at Timaru.
Subsequent voyages will also be amended and a revised booking confirmation will be sent to customers.
