After leaving the Port of Brisbane on Nov. 17 aboard the good ship "Seatrade Orange," Wilmar has enjoyed a tour of the southern Pacific Ocean. The ship stopped at Botany Bay (Sydney) and Melbourne in Australia. It then ventured across the Bass Strait past the island of Tasmania to Nelson, on New Zealand's South Island, before traveling to the North Island port of Tauranga. Early on Dec. 2, it left Tauranga for the longest leg of the voyage, across the Pacific to the Panama port at Manzanillo, at the western terminus of the Panama Canal. Expected arrival there is Dec. 17. Wilmar will have a three-day layover there as it is discharged from "Seatrade Orange" and reloaded aboard "Long Beach." Check back in a couple of weeks for the next chapter of Wilmar's World Tour.
