Larger ships into Sydney

[MicCanberra]

The new Sydney terminal is years away if it ever gets approval, as profitability, they would know well in advance as they would have the bookings before they arrive. If they aren't  selling enough cabins, they would just shorten the season and incorporate Southern Asia as well.

 

As for its size, many people will tell you it doesn't matter. 

It does.

Noumea should be able to take a oasis class,it’s one of the biggest natural harbours in the pacific and was a major port for the Americans in WW2.

Other ports that should take a oasis class are Hobart,Tauranga,Picton Brisbane and Sydney. Then there’s the company island  of Lelepa which you think it will be capable of the big ships.

Some say Dunedin and Christchurch but I don’t think a oasis would be suitable for NZ South Island as it’s a warm weather ship.

Oasis Class ships are much bigger than the biggest WWII aircraft carriers.  The Yorktown class carriers, which fought at Midway, were only 251m in length.  Oasis Class ships are 360+m long - almost 50% longer.

 

Having said that, I agree that the Noumea container dock should be big enough to handle them.

Google it, you may find that some of those answers do not affect anyone's lives directly.

At least a couple of Rod’s comments had some credibility  .🤔

I think Icon of the seas or the news Oasis class Utopia will be seen here in 2024.

Icon would go well with the carbon neutral island,NZ Fiordlands and the Alaska season as it’s got all the new green technologies.
