Aberfeldy launches dedicated coastal freight service in New Zealand
What happened
Aberfeldy Shipping announced the launch of a dedicated coastal freight service in December. The service will utilize two multi-purpose vessels, the MV ICS Silver Lining and MV Himala, to link regional ports with major import and export hubs. Aberfeldy also called for the creation of a comprehensive coastal shipping policy.

Why it matters
The initiative is described as a major boost for domestic supply chains and the maritime industry in New Zealand. The new service fills an urgent gap in the domestic supply chain following the loss of Pacifica Shipping’s Moana Chief earlier this year. Aberfeldy's private investment demonstrates commercial appetite for domestic coastal shipping.
