New Routes + Schedules to Australia & New Zealand

Written by Alex Naumov | May 5, 2022 at 6:17 PM

Ocean carriers announced a number of important changes to shipping routes and schedules to Australia and New Zealand. The latest schedule shows that carriers will skip Los Angeles/Long Beach every other sailing, while also skipping Auckland, New Zealand. The worst news are that the remaining ships which call LA, will also skip Auckland. This means that for the next 3 months, there will be no service from LA to Auckland, New Zealand. 

 

Fortunately, the port of Oakland is back on schedule and service is available to New Zealand on nearly every voyage. We have the space for your vehicles at our warehouses, and we have secured allocation with ocean carriers for your containers. We are ready to accept your vehicles for shipping.

 

We are also happy to announce that rates will remain unchanged until the end of June. 

Oakland: Only Option From CA To Auckland

Starting this June, the port of Oakland will be the only port in California from which container ships will depart to Auckland from. Carriers ANL/CMA-CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and Maersk are attempting to alleviate congestion by skipping the port of Long Beach and the port of Auckland. Unfortunately this means that vessels which stop at Long Beach, will also skip Auckland.

 

The last vessel from Long Beach to Auckland will depart at the end of May. Ocean carriers have not announced when service from Long Beach to Auckland will return.
