Leading New Zealand coastal shipping operator, Pacifica Shipping, has doubled the frequency of its sailings between Auckland and Christchurch with the launch of a new twice-weekly schedule. Increased coastal shipping frequency enhances the resilience of New Zealand’s supply chains while reducing reliance on existing road and rail infrastructure. It also offers customers a more sustainable alternative, with a recent study finding that coastal shipping produces one fifth of the carbon emissions of road freight. The service is operated in tandem by MV Takutai Chief (pictured) and MV Moana Chief.
