OOCL has decided to postpone the launch of its new East Mediterranean – America Service (EMA) by three weeks until April 25.
As such, the first commencing voyage from the Mediterranean (westbound) will now be:
| Week | Sailing | Port | Berth ETA |

The first departing voyage from North America (eastbound) will now be:
| Week | Sailing | Port | Berth ETD |

Meanwhile, shipments that are already booked on the affected voyages will be allocated to OOCL’s ATM1 or ATE1 Trans-Atlantic services upon arrival at the transhipment ports for westbound shipments, and to the ATM1 or IEX1 services for eastbound shipments.
