The company has decided to reshuffle its Capricorn and Kiwi Express services aiming to boost its network in the southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand markets.

Capricorn’s new port rotation is to be Singapore – Fremantle – Adelaide – Melbourne – Bluff – Napier – Tauranga – Auckland – Brisbane – Jakarta – Tanjung Pelepas
The first sailing of the updated service is to see the 3,400TEU MSC Banu leave Singapore on 20 December.
The Kiwi Express’ updated rotation will be Singapore – Jakarta – Brisbane – Sydney – Auckland – Nelson – Wellington – Lyttleton – Port Chalmers – Brisbane – Tanjung Pelepas, while the 2008-built Northern Diamond will launch the first voyage on 26 December.
