THE ALLIANCE UNVEILS EXPANDED SERVICE NETWORK FOR 2020
Hyundai Merchant Marine has become a full member of THE Alliance
- which already includes Hapag-Lloyd, Ocean Network Express and Yang
Ming. With the FMC acceptance of Hyundai Merchant Marine membership,
THE Alliance us unveiled an upgraded product package that will be
launched around April 1, 2020.
Last week, the Ocean Alliance announced its Day 4 product which
will also start operation in April 2020.
The new product package from THE Alliance will offer increasing
frequency particularly from South East Asia, as well as new direct
port coverage and improved transit times.
The upgraded service package includes:
A new pendulum service replacing the existing Asia-Europe FE5
and Transpacific PS7 services. This new service will be operated by
18 modern 14,000+ TEU ships and will provide added weekly
Transpacific coverage between South East Asia and Southern
California, thereby expanding the number of services directly
covering this lane to three, in addition to FP1 and PS3. A modified
PS3 will offer new direct coverage of Haiphong.
Further to the enhanced Transpacific coverage of South East
Asia, a new Transpacific loop, PS8, will be inaugurated focusing on
Central China and Korea (including new coverage of Incheon).
For Asia and North Europe, the group will deploy two 20,000+ TEU
vessel services in a newly revised FE2 and FE4 design. THE Alliance
