The Grand Alliance -- Hapag Lloyd, NYK and OOCL -- and New World Alliance -- APL, Hyundai Merchant Marine and MOL -- will restart their joint all-water Asia/U.S. East Coast service in the late spring or early summer, a spokesman for Hapag-Lloyd confirmed to American Shipper magazine.   The weekly service, called East Coast South Express (ECS) by members of the Grand Alliance and East Coast 3 (EC3) by the New World Alliance carriers, started in August last year using ships averaging about 3,900 TEUs calling Shanghai; Chiwan; Shekou; Hong Kong; Manzanillo, Panama; Savannah, Ga.; Norfolk, Va.; and back to Shanghai.   The service was suspended just before the turn of the year as part of a capacity reduction program initiated for the slack season.   American Shipper
