Publish Time: 2025-12-18 Origin: Site

Recently, Ocean Network Express (ONE), Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM), and Yang Ming Marine Transport have each released details of their 2026 East-West service networks, covering key trade routes linking Asia to Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

All three carriers confirmed their updated route networks will take effect in April 2026. The revised networks aim to boost service reliability and operational stability, supported by additional capacity from newbuild vessels to be delivered between 2025 and 2026.

Currently, all services are planned to operate via the Cape of Good Hope, with continuous monitoring of conditions in the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and Suez Canal.
