By joining forces on this trade, the two partners will enhance the quality and reliability of the fixed-day weekly ANZEX service provided to all of their customers.
ANZEX is the only service in the trade to offer direct calls in 4 New Zealand Ports with 2 South Island ports, optimizing opportunities for New Zealand Exporters whilst minimizing their land based costs.
ANZEX will discontinue calling Port Kelang Northbound hence shortening transit time between New Zealand and China by 7 days.
Other Asian destinations will be relayed via the Hong Kong and Chiwan hubs with competitive Transit Times.
On the Southbound loop, the service will make alternative calls in Noum'a (New Caledonia) and Suva (Fiji).
The service will deploy 6 ships of 1,800 TEU (5 for CMA CGM and 1 for OOCL) with the following schedule: Hong Kong ' Chiwan ' Ningbo ' Shanghai ' Pusan ' Suva (Alternative A) ' Noumea (Alternative B) ' Auckland ' Port Chalmers' Lyttelton ' Tauranga ' Noumea ' Hong Kong.
