Carriers cull transpacific capacity

摘要

Ocean carriers have made a series of capacity cuts on the transpacific tradelane as part of their winter rationalisation programmes. The CKYH Alliance, for instance, has announced that it will slash capacity by 10 on the Asia/US west coast (USWC) and by 20 on the Asia/US east coast (USEC) trades as part of its seasonal adjustment programme. CKYH partners COSCON, K Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin Shipping said they had taken the action order to cope with decreasing demand as well as rising fuel costs.
