Notice! The two routes of THE alliance return and the ports of call are adjusted!
Data show that U.S. container imports have grown strongly recently compared with the same period last year. In particular, the throughput of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in the United States far exceeded last year's levels.
Among them, the throughput of the Los Angeles terminal increased by 35% in two months to 1,637,086 TEU, while the throughput of the Long Beach terminal increased by 20.7% to 1,348,738 TEU.
Against this background, THE Alliance (Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, HMM and Yang Ming) recently announced the resumption of two trans-Pacific routes that have been suspended for nearly half a year.
The specific plans are as follows: On April 15, THE Alliance will restart the EC4/SUEZ1 route from Asia to the East Coast of the United States, which was suspended due to off-season demand last winter.
This resumption will adopt a new sailing arrangement, and the order of ports of call is: Kaohsiung, Xiamen, Yantian, Gaimei, Singapore, Norfolk, Savannah, Charleston, New York, Singapore and Kaohsiung.
It is worth noting that Hong Kong will no longer be a stopover, and both eastbound and westbound routes will pass through the Cape of Good Hope instead of the Suez Canal.
The EC4 service is expected to complete one voyage every 13 weeks and will deploy up to 13 ships with a capacity of between 13,000 and 14,000 TEU, which will be from Hapag-Lloyd, ONE and Yang Ming. The maiden voyage will be operated by the 14,080TEU ship "YM Warm" from Kaohsiung.
In addition, on April 19, THE Alliance will also resume the PN3 service on the West Coast of the United States, which was also canceled due to weakened pre-winter demand in October last year.
The order of new ports of call is: Hong Kong, Haiphong, Yantian, Shanghai, Busan, Vancouver, Tacoma, Busan, Kaohsiung, and two new ports of call are Hong Kong and Haiphong.
The first voyage of the new PN3 service is scheduled to depart from Hong Kong and will be operated by the newly built 13,788 TEU HMM Aquamarine.
The service is expected to complete one sailing every eight weeks and will deploy eight vessels from Hyundai Merchant Marine and Yang Ming Marine Lines.
