MV Norfolk Returning from New Zealand, November2023

The morning I checked my Ship Info app, and the MV Norfolk is returning to Norfolk Island from Auckland New Zealand, the MV Norfolk headed off to New Zealand earlier in the month and this cargo shipment is the fourth MV Norfolk delivery from New Zealand for the year. The last delivery of freight was from Australia at the beginning of month and previous delivery from New Zealand was in September.

The Shipping schedule shows as from November 2023 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.
