2M takes advantage of Hanjin's exit by adding Far East-USWC capacity
MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Company (MSC) and Maersk Line that make up the 2M alliance are continuing to add capacity to the Far East - US west coast trade lane to fill the gap left by Hanjin Shipping's departure.
The partners will operate the first three sailings of their 'TP-1/Maple' service with vessels ranging in size from 7,800 to 9,400 TEU, reported Alphaliner.
Two of the sailings are one-way trips only, as the 9,400-TEU ships will join the US west coast to Mediterranean route after completing their transpacific eastbound voyages.
Originally, it was announced that the service would also call at Prince Rupert, but all sailings advertised so far have excluded the Canadian port and will only call at Los Angeles and Long Beach.
