Ocean Network Express (“ONE”), HMM (“HMM”) and Yang Ming Marine Transportation (“Yang Ming”) are pleased to announce that the three companies will continue to cooperate closely under the new alliance name Premier Alliance, effective for five years from February 2025. This strategic and long-standing partnership enables ONE to continue delivering reliable and flexible services with expanded global coverage, ensuring enhanced value and seamless operations for our customers.
The cooperation is comprised of mainline services across the major East – West Tradelines: Asia – North America West Coast, Asia – North America East Coast, Asia – Mediterranean, Asia – North Europe, and Asia – Middle East.
“We are very pleased to announce that our strategic partnership with HMM and Yang Ming in the East-West trades will be further continued. The close network collaboration that exists between the three companies will be further strengthened and enhanced under this new collaboration starting from February 2025. Collectively this new tripartite alliance will offer strong, reliable and highly dependable end-to-end direct port container services to its customers on both the Transpacific and Asia-Europe trades.” Jeremy Nixon, CEO of ONE, shared his thoughts on this new collaboration and ONE’s business outlook going forward.
The 2025 Transpacific trade service products had been introduced earlier by ONE in March 2024. As a continuation of this announcement, a comprehensive update for all services for the major trade lanes will be announced separately.
With the Premier Alliance, ONE will continue to provide a wide coverage service to our valued customers, in addition to ONE’s independent services.
On the same day, ONE also announce the slot exchange cooperation between Premier Alliance and Mediterranean Shipping Company (“MSC”) in the Asia – Europe trade. The new slot exchange cooperation will involve nine services, and through this, ONE aims to offer more extensive direct port coverage with frequent sailings in the Asia – North Europe and Mediterranean trade lanes.
