Further advice from Maersk Line:
"We refer to our advisory on 29 March which confirmed that the Searuby will be phased out from our Tasman Star service, resulting in two blank sailings during April and May.
Due to the RHL Aurora facing adverse weather conditions in New Zealand which will cause delays of 3.5 days into Australia, we have effectively decided to slide the vessel one week into the Searuby position. This change will result in each planned blanking now taking place one week earlier.
Below are the revised schedule details. Please note confirmation for the replacement vessel in Sydney on 23 May is still being finalised. We will share the details as soon as possible.
