G6 Alliance to Advance Launch of Asia-Europe Service
Tokyo, Feb 10, 2012 (JCN) - The G6 Alliance will begin their groundbreaking cooperation in Asia-Europe container shipping in the first week of March - one month ahead of schedule. Serving the Asia-to-Europe-and-Mediterranean market, the G6 Alliance is composed of the carriers in the Grand Alliance and New World Alliance: APL, Hapag-Lloyd AG, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Mitsui O.S.K Lines, Nippon Yusen Kaisha and Orient Overseas Container Line.
The G6 Alliance will launch six services between Asia and North Europe in the first week of March. Those serving Japanese ports will commence after completion of consultations with the Japan Harbor Transportation Association and labor unions. A seventh service, which will provide direct coverage to the Bohai Bay ports in Dalian and Xingang, will follow when it can be supported by sustainable trade conditions.
In addition, the G6 Alliance will continue the existing Asia-Mediterranean Express Service (EUM) and will also launch a new Asia-Black Sea Express service (ABX) in the first week of April.
