The current charter party of the Southern Moana will expire very soon and the vessel will be re-delivered to her Owners early January.

Voyage 61 (ETA Nouméa 24 December 2007) will be the last voyage of the Southern Moana on this trade lane.

Our three shipping lines have identified a replacement vessel which will become available in March 2008 and will be dedicated to the Australia/Nouméa trade with Prony Bay calls on inducement.

In the meantime, we have concluded an agreement with the Auspac service operating from Australia to Fiji, Tonga and Samoa’s. The two vessels employed on this service will call Nouméa en route to Fiji. We will therefore provide our clients with a direct shipping service of similar standard, with a 15 days frequency.

The first vessel will be Forum Samoa II voyage 76, with following ETA : - Brisbane 07/01 - Sydney 10/01 - Melbourne 12/01 - Nouméa 18/01

This vessel will be followed 15 days later by the Capitaine Tasman voyage 121.

These two sister ships built in 2001 have proved to be extremely reliable, with their 16kn service speed, their intake capacity of 626 TEU and also their 2×60T cranes.

We look forward to your continued support on our Australia/Nouméa service.

Yours Sincerely,

Sofrana Unilines
