THE Alliance, comprising Hapag-Lloyd, Ocean Network Express (ONE), Yang Ming and HMM, has announced an updated service setup, which will be effective from spring 2022.

Among several modifications, a key change will be de-linking the FP2 pendulum loop into two separate services, namely FE5: South East Asia to Europe and PS7: South East Asia and South China to Transpacific West Coast.

Another important update is the introduction of a modern series of fuel-efficient 11,000 TEU vessels, which will replace older and smaller container ships on the most frequented services.

“This reflects THE Alliance’s continued commitment to lower carbon footprints,” said the alliance partners in a joint statement.

The service network of THE Alliance for 2022 will have the following rotations:
