Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) is terminating its stand-alone Asia-Europe service.
The South Korean operator has done so ahead of a new partnership it intends to form next April with the member lines of THE Alliance.
The decision will release 13 containerships of between 4,700 teu and 5,400 teu from the Asia-Europe trade.
The vessels are presently deployed in the AEX service, which HMM established in May 2018.
