MV Norfolk Deliveries from Australia April 2024

The sea freight delivery from Australia arrived last weekend onboard the MV Norfolk, which had sailed from Brisbane and anchored at Cascade Bay. The crew unloading cargo on Saturday 27 April, and on Sunday 28 April 2024. On Saturday there were some late afternoon brief showers with a stunning rainbow framing the Cascade Pier and the cliff edges.

The lighterage crew made quick work unloading the cargo at the Cascade Pier and when I visited Cascade on Sunday afternoon, the transfer vessels were busy transporting the freight from ship to shore, which included building materials, along with many other items for the food industry, supermarket and there will also be Australia post mail.

On Monday evening I checked my ship info app, and the MV Norfolk was anchored off Puppies Point. The next journey is to Auckland, for the next delivery due at the end of May 2024. The last delivery of sea freight was from Brisbane was 2,3 March 2024 and previous delivery from New Zealand was a month ago, late March 2024.

The Shipping schedule shows as from May 2024 for the MV Norfolk. The vessel is scheduled to have a regular shipping service from Brisbane and Auckland, alternating with back-and-forth voyages. These “Depot Cut Off Dates” are subject to change.

Thank you for the lighterage crew, truck drivers and shipping company for delivering the shipment of cargo from New Zealand. Here are a few photos of MV Norfolk anchored at Cascade during the unloading this week on 27 & 28 April 2024, as the lighterage crew unloaded the freight on the transfer vessels on warm Autumn Norfolk Island days. I will also include the lovely rainbow my friend Esther captured.
