Grand Alliance revamps Asia/USEC services

5/29/2007 10:27:34 AM

GRAND Alliance members Hapag-Lloyd, NYK and OOCL have announced that they are reconfiguring their transpacific services during the peak summer season to meet customer requirements more effectively.

As a result, amendments will be made to the East Coast South (ECS) and East Coast North (ECN) container shipping services to provide more diverse loading options and faster transit times from south, north and central China.

Starting from the middle of June, the South China East Coast Express (SCE) will serve Taiwan and south China by calling at Kaohsiung, Shekou, Hong Kong, New York, Norfolk and Savannah.

At the same time, the North and Central China East Coast Express (NCE) will serve Korea as well as north and central China by calling at Busan, Dalian, Xingang, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, New York, Norfolk and Savannah.

Each service loop will deploy eight ships with capacities ranging from 3,500 to 4,400 TEU. Transit time from Hong Kong to New York, and Shanghai to New York, will be 23 days and 21 days respectively.

The Grand Alliance consortium also comprises Malaysia-based MISC, which does not provide transpacific services.
