Change of Vessel Deployment on PNA and NAT Services – MV. Noumea Chief and MV. Samoa Chief
02/02/2023
Dear Valued Customers,
To facilitate the planned dry docking of Swire Shipping’s “Pacific” class fleet with minimal disruption to service, two vessels will be redeployed in February as follows:
• MV. Noumea Chief will phase out of the NAT service into PNA commencing with voyage 2306S/N. She will replace the smaller MV. Highland Chief from our “Heritage” class fleet.
o The Noumea Chief is the second “Pacific” class vessel in PNA joining the MV. Vanuatu Chief, offering the best capacity and capability in the market.
• MV. Samoa Chief will phase out of the ESEA service into NAT commencing with voyage 2305S/N. She will replace the outgoing MV. Noumea Chief.
o The Samoa Chief is a direct replacement of another “Pacific” class vessel and enters the NAT service from dry dock.
Schedules will be published this week reflecting the vessel changes.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to working with you. Should you have any questions, please contact your local Swire Shipping representative.
