Grand Alliance members in the transpacific trade, Hapag-Lloyd, NYK and OOCL, have announced a restructuring and upgrade of their Central China Express Service (CCX).
From August, Grand Alliance will change the port rotation of CCX to Ningbo, Shanghai, Los Angeles and Ningbo. CCX will now call at the new Yangshan terminal in Shanghai.
Four 5,500-TEU vessels will be deployed in the service, an upgrade in capacity from four 4,000-TEU vessels.
With these changes, the new CCX service will offer a direct call from Shanghai to Los Angeles with the best transit time of 10 days, which will enhance Grand Alliance's ability in serving the fast growing market.
The Grand Alliance, formed in 1998, is the leading integrated consortium in global container shipping. Its members are Hapag-Lloyd (Germany), MISC Berhad (Malaysia), NYK (Japan) and OOCL (Hong Kong). MISC Berhad does not provide transpacific services.
