Ocean Alliance to Deploy 330 Ships in New Service

The Ocean Alliance partners have presented their new service offering, which would see the carriers utilize 330 containerships.

Namely, CMA CGM, COSCO Shipping Lines, OOCL and Evergreen signed the agreement for the launch of Ocean Alliance Day 3 Product, to start in April 2019.

Under the new deal, the partners said they would cover 38 services using 330 vessels with an estimated carrying capacity of around 3.8 million TEUs.

First launched in spring 2017, the new network deal would provide the largest service offer on the Transpacific trade with 19 services, a strengthened offer between Asia and Europe with the addition of a 7th service, and a large offer between Asia and the Mediterranean.

Additionally, the partners would link North Europe to the East Coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico with 2 Transatlantic services, offer 4 services between Asia and the Middle East, and 2 Asia-Red Sea services.

“This new agreement with our Asian partners will enable us to propose to our customers an unrivaled and competitive service offering. It is a milestone in our development strategy,” Rodolphe Saadé, Chairman and CEO, said.
