Maersk has announced a seasonal blanking on its Northern Star service for the Delos Wave voyages /550N, affecting sailings scheduled for November (ex APA) and December (ex OCE). The adjustment comes in response to Christmas and New Year closures in New Zealand during the scheduled sailing period.
To minimize disruption, bookings will be automatically transferred to the next available sailing. Additionally, Timaru will be induced on 26 December by the Maersk Willemstadt (voyage 551N) to ensure service continuity and smooth cargo movement.
Impacted service details:
Service: Northern Star
Vessel: Delos Wave
Voyages: 548S / 550N
Last Port (Southbound): Hong Kong — ETD /2025
Last Port (Northbound): Tauranga — ETD /2026
