THE G6 Alliance, the biggest Asia-Europe vessel network, has agreed to expand their cooperation to the Asia-North America east coast trade via both the Panama and the Suez canals starting in May.
The G6 will offer six coordinated services connecting Asian and North America East Coast ports with three transiting the Suez Canal while the remaining three transit the Panama Canal.
The six coordinated services will offer an increased sailing frequency than what is currently offered by both The New World Alliance and the Grand Alliance combined.
The six loops are the result of the merger and revision of several existing services separately offered by the two alliances. It also includes an entirely new service to form a comprehensive and competitive transpacific network.
"The G6 Alliance will deploy more than 50 ships in the transpacific trade calling at 30 ports in Asia, North America east coast, Canada, Central America, Caribbean, Indian sub-continent, Mediterranean and the Middle East," said a statement from the group.
The G6 Alliance members are APL, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, MOL, NYK and Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL).
