P&O NEDLLOYD EXPANDS SOUTHEAST ASIA/NEW ZEALAND SERVICE

   P&O Nedlloyd said that it is expanding its weekly Southeast Asia/New
Zealand container service to call weekly at Port Kelang, in addition to
Singapore.
   Now using five ships on this route, the carrier will call weekly at the
New Zealand ports of Auckland, Lyttelton, Napier and Tauranga, with
fortnightly calls to be made at New Plymouth. A weekly northbound call at
the Australian port of Brisbane has also been introduced.
   P&O Nedlloyd said that the changes follow a pickup in traffic volumes in
the previously depressed New Zealand/Southeast Asia trade.
