If it’s true , going to hurt their bookings . The only reason I would go to the South Island is to see the sounds . The rest are all ugly industrial ports .

They were talking about banning ships in Milford

Port Botany has been kicked around for a while as a extra cruise terminal for years. Our Government is desperately looking for an extra birth and unfortunately Sydney harbour is full . Sydney harbour would have to one of the best ports in the world but I think once they decide on a place cruise ships will be pushed out . The current favourite is Port Kembla ,Wollongong , about a hour south. Which is also a industrial port. As ugly as Port Botany is , it’s ideal. It’s only 15-20 minutes from central Sydney and you can throw a rock at the airport with 1.2 kilometres of straight wharf. The N.S.W government approached the current owners,Hutchison ports a few years ago. They said they weren’t interested in the cruise industry as they were tired up with the Chinese belt and road cargo project . Hopefully BlackRock might have a different view if they take it over but apparently the takeover is being blocked by the Chinese government.

No ,unfortunately . It’s Anthem in Sydney and Quantum in Brisbane.

It’s looking like Navigator is going to Singapore as there’s a few port bookings in Hong Kong for it. It looks like a possible pacific transit via Japan in October and back in April????

Know one knows? Going from port bookings across the pacific there’s no evidence either way . Brisbane still has Voyager booked for the 26-27 season. Quantum has port bookings in Cairns and 2 odd ones in Brisbane .November/ March which could be a trans pacific to Singapore. Its your guess.

A update on Lelepa would have been better ,that one has been going for years.

They got me

Does anyone know what this is ?

I don’t think the circular quay terminal building would be able to process the passengers. It would be OK for a Oasis port stop. Apparently Black Rock is going to announce the details of the buy out of Huchinsons on Wednesday .
