A further shake-up of the alliance network has seen three Asian liner operators rebrand and lock into a strategic tie-up with MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company.
Liner companies HMM, Ocean Network Express and Yang Ming Marine Transportation have agreed to extend their east-west alliance for another five years from February 2025 under the Premier Alliance name.
The Asian members of THE Alliance unveiled the agreement ahead of the upcoming departure of a fourth partner, Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd, in the coming months.
