Ocean Alliance Releases 2025 Service Lineup

[ January 21, 2025   //   ]

The Ocean Alliance shipping network, or OA, has announced its 2025 project lineup, effective in April, which includes three additional services and heavy emphasis on transpacific services.
OA member carrier OOCL released the alliance’s updated schedule, or “Day 9 products,” on Jan. 12. Other alliance members are CMA CGM, COSCO Container Lines and Evergreen Line.
The alliance will have nine transpacific services, including three new routes: the
Pacific South China Express [PSX], Pacific North West 5 [PNW5], and Loop 3 of the Asia North Europe services.
In addition, COSCO Shipping Lines said it will operate a comprehensive, upgraded four-loop transatlantic services between North Europe and North America, effective February, subject to regulatory approvals.
The new service will provide more reliable transits to differentiate the service between North Europe and North and South America, COSCO Shipping Lines said.
Considering the current situation in the Red Sea region, OA vessels will continue to be diverted to the Cape of Good Hope route. However, to allow for future planning, they’ve provided a Suez Canal version of port rotation for applicable routes, with the date of implementation subject to further notice.
“With the introduction of the OCEAN Alliance Day 9 products … we aim to provide world-class shipping solutions to customers, all while enhancing global trade stability and demonstrating our commitment to a sustainable future in shipping,” OOCL said.
The lineup serves eight trades, 41 loops and more than 520 direct port pairs, COSCO Shipping said.
