The CKYH Alliance consisting of Cosco, K Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin said they will provide, effective from October, six services instead of seven - four to north Europe and two to the Mediterranean.
At present the CKYH carriers provide five services to northern Europe and two to the Med. The four carriers said in a statement that "With this rationalization, the partner carriers will be able to avoid the overlapping of similar loops and reduce duplicate calling ports, thereby improving efficiency".

The NE1 will deploy eight TEU 8,500 vessels from Cosco and Hanjin. The rotation will be Ningbo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Guangzhou (Nansha), Rotterdam, Hamburg, Felixstowe, Antwerp, Singapore and back to Ningbo.
