Container shipping giant Maersk is adding another vessel to its New Zealand ocean network to help unchoke supply chain congestion it believes will continue until late this year. The world s biggest container shipping line will add a seventh vessel to its Southern Star service, which it calls the backbone of the Maersk ocean network in New Zealand.
The service calls at the ports of Tauranga, Napier, Lyttelton and Port Chalmers before heading to Maersk s South East Asian hub ports in Malaysia and Singapore.
FARMINGTON Tribal parks will reopen to Navajo Nation residents under a new public health emergency order, tribal President Jonathan Nez announced at a virtual town hall on April 21.
The new order will also see the tribe advance from orange status to yellow status under its reopening plan.
The order by the Navajo Department of Health was not released as of the afternoon on April 21, but Nez said it will go into effect on April 26.
Jill Jim, the tribe s health department director, said the order will have operational guidelines for the parks and recreation areas.
Last March, the tribe s Division of Natural Resources ordered the closure of parks, recreation sites and points of interest managed by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department because of the coronavirus.
