Alliance plans megaships for trans-Pacific trade

The Ocean Alliance has announced that it is planning to deploy container ships of 18 000 TEUs on the trans-Pacific trade.

This will be from April 2017, the same date the five-year alliance begins operations.

In this amended alliance, the Ocean Three (CMA CGM, UASC), becomes the Ocean Alliance (CMA CGM, CIS, APL, OOCL and Evergreen).
