OCEAN Alliance, consisting of CMA CGM, COSCO, Evergreen and OOCL, has announced the launch of its updated service network, called “DAY 8 Product”.
After extending their partnership for an additional five years, the four ocean carrier allies are unveiling their new programme aimed at tackling the emerging challenges posed by the volatile conditions in the Red Sea.
The DAY 8 Product, which is expected to commence in April, will include:
- The deployment of 321 container ships, including 119 vessels for the CMA CGM Group
- 35 services worldwide
- A total capacity of approximately 4.5 million TEUs
The OCEAN Alliance DAY 8 Product will offer the following services from/to Asia:
- 6 services between Asia and Northern Europe
- 4 services between Asia and the Mediterranean
- 20 Transpacific services – 8 between Asia and the East Coast of the United States and 12 services between Asia and the West Coast of the United States and Canada
- 2 Transatlantic services connecting Northern Europe to North American ports
- 3 services between Asia and the ports of the Persian Gulf.
At the same time, the OCEAN Alliance will suspend its two services connecting Asia to the Red Sea until further notice due to the unstable environment in the region.
