Notice – NAT and PNA – Noumea Chief and Port Vila Chief Vessel Swap
Please be advised that the MV. Noumea Chief will phase out of NAT and into PNA for voyage 2413S in Busan in June. Our schedule will reflect a 3 day delay for this PNA voyage including omissions of Kaohsiung, Xingang and Qingdao.
The MV. Port Vila Chief will replace her in NAT, after phasing out of PNA in Kaohsiung early on PNA voyage 2409N. She will phase into NAT in Busan in July with a 9 day delay for NAT voyage 2407S, but is expected to recover long term schedule by voyage 2410S commencing in Asia in September.
The above swap is necessary to facilitate a previously unplanned dry docking of the MV. Port Vila Chief with adverse impact to port coverage and schedule minimised as best as possible.
