The inaugural sailings are set to take place as follows: - Southbound departure on MV Cap Jervis 69S, leaving New York on October 17, 2013. - Northbound voyage on MV Cap Jervis 69N, departing Buenos Aires on November 10, 2013. This new service is expected to enhance trade opportunities and streamline logistics between these vital regions.

In a momentous occasion for the Port of Napier, the MAERSK CAP JERVIS, a colossal container ship weighing 59,300 tonnes, made its landmark docking on Friday night. Although the Hamburg Sud vessel was originally slated to arrive just after dawn, it had to anchor in the stream until evening due to its impressive size coupled with challenging tides and weather conditions. Once safely docked, the massive ship navigated port operations seamlessly and was able to depart without any issues by around 6 PM on Saturday.
