G6 Alliance will withdraw eight Asia-Europe sailings

Members of the G6 Alliance have announced the withdrawal of eight Asia-Europe sailings from late October to February next year, in response to expected low demand over the winter season. These void sailings will be made on the Asia- North Europe (5) and Asia-Mediterranean (3) services. The G6 Alliance will continue to offer a variety of services between the Far East and Europe covering all major port pairs with weekly sailings, and to make service adjustments where necessary. The G6 Alliance members are: APL, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine, Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) and Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL).
