G6 to expand to the transatlantic and transpacific west coast

摘要

The G6 Alliance has unveiled plans to expand on to the transatlantic and Asia-US west coast trade lanes, responding to the announcement of the proposed P3 Network. The member lines, APL, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, MOL, NYK Line and OOCL, said that on the Asia-US west coast trade the expanded alliance would deploy about 76 ships across 12 services, connecting 27 Asian and North American west coast ports. This would give the G6 carriers a 24% market share on the Asia-North American west coast trade lane. On the transatlantic trade lane, another 42 ships will be deployed across five services, including two pendulum services calling at 25 ports covering the US east coast, US west coast, Canada, Panama, Mexico, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Belgium and Germany.
