ZIM Integrated Services Ltd operates two container services through Halifax: ZCA - ZIM Container Atlantic, and CFZ - Canada Feeder Express. The latter runs to the Kingston, Jamaica hub via New York and coordinates with other regional services.
Today, May 25 marks the first arrival in Halifax of the Warnow Master on the CFZ run. The Warnow Master was previously employed on ZIM's Caribbean Gulf Express, running from Mobile and Houston to Kingston.
Built in 2009 by Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding Co Ltd in Zhoushan it has a capacity of 1496 TEU, including 276 reefers. The 17,068 gt, 21,146 dwt ship will call in Halifax every second Thursday.
Warnow Master replaces the AS Felicia which has been on the CFZ since April 3, 2018. A slightly smaller ship of 15,375 gt, 18,291 dwt, it has a capacity of 1296 TEU including 390 reefers, it also carries two cranes. Coincidentally it was built at the same shipyard, but in 2006. Launched as Medocean it was delivered as EWL Caribbean and renamed APL Managua in 2007, Medocean in 2014 and AS Felicia in 2015.
AS Felicia's last call in Halifax was on May 7.
Due to various circumstances no decent photo seems likely on Warnow Master's first visit - maybe next time...
