Grand Alliance members Hapag-Lloyd, Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) and Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) have announced the enhancement of their transpacific West Coast services.
The Japan China Express (JCX) will be re-launched in conjunction with the competitive restructuring of the Central China Express, (CCX), South China Sea Express (SCX) and Super Shuttle Express (SSX), offering an improved and efficient Grand Alliance service network.
Effective May 15th, the JCX will cover the Japanese ports currently called by SCX and Qingdao port currently called by CCX, in addition to the introduction of a new direct Kwangyang Eastbound call.
