To this end, Hamburg Süd's Asia Australia/New Zealand Service (ANZL) and the Coscon/ICS consortium's service will be combined to create a weekly fixed-day service providing expanded port coverage in Asia and New Zealand.
The new service has the following port rotation: Auckland - New Plymouth - Nelson (fortnightly) - Wellington (fortnightly) - Lyttelton - Napier - Tauranga - Tokio - Kobe - Busan - Shanghai - Yantian - Hong Kong - Brisbane - Auckland.
Service to and from Brisbane will be offered exclusively by Hamburg Süd. The new service will see the deployment of six 3,000 to 3,500 TEU vessels.
