Posted on 09 April, 2018

The latest update has been released on progress of the Mitsui Osk Line (MOL) car carriers; Cougar Ace, Courageous Ace and Primrose Ace. Cougar Ace The Cougar Ace has completed full vessel operations in Auckland and Tauranga and has departed New Zealand.  Primrose Ace and Courageous Ace Due to delays inbound and in Auckland, both the Primrose Ace and the Courageous Ace will now have identical coastal schedules. To maximise berth windows on the New Zealand coast it has been decided that all cargo for Wellington, Lyttelton and Nelson on the Primrose Ace  and all cargo that was to load into the Primrose Ace in Auckland has been transferred to the Courageous Ace. This includes cargo ex the Meridian Ace and Cougar Ace. Updated schedule for the Courageous Ace is below. Ports of Auckland yard congestion & Lyttelton Port strikes  Ports of Auckland have advised that with large discharge volumes expected later this week that the port will experience possible yard congestion.
