WWL boosts frequency of Oceania service

WWL boosts frequency of Oceania service Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics said it has increased the frequency of its ocean service from the Americas to Australia, New Zealand and other locations in Oceania.
   The company now offers four rather than three sailings per month and in March 2009 the service will offer regular weekly calls.
   “The increase in service to Oceania is in response to the needs of manufacturers and shippers of new and used heavy equipment and automakers who depend on frequent and flexible transport solutions,” Wallenius said.
   Out of Europe, WWL's service levels to Oceania will be maintained at the current six sailings per month and the company will continue to offer two to three sailings per month from Europe to South Africa.
   Port rotation is Baltimore; Savannah, Ga.; Manzanillo, Panama; Auckland, New Zealand; and the Australian ports of Brisbane, Port Kembla, Melbourne and Fremantle. There is also one sailing a month to the ports of Papeete in Tahiti and Noumea in New Caledonia. The vessels servicing these two ports will call there prior to reaching Auckland.
