APL, Maersk Line and OOCL have announced a new cooperation on three existing Far East to Indian Subcontinent services, starting in February 2014. In a slot sharing agreement that also includes partners CMA CGM, Emirates Shipping Line, Hamburg Süd and Regional Container Lines, 18 vessels with a total capacity of about 17,500 TEU will be deployed on the three Far East-Indian Subcontinent services. The enhanced network will enable the carriers to offer three weekly sailings – covering China, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – compared to one weekly sailing currently offered independently by each liner. “Our multi-carrier cooperation will provide more frequent sailings between Asia’s major trading hubs and at the same time eliminate unnecessary service duplications,” the partner carriers said in a joint statement. “With improved operational efficiency and a more comprehensive service structure, the enhanced Far East-Indian Subcontinent services will offer shippers flexible and competitive options best catered to their needs.” The new port rotations for the three services are as follows:

CIX (to be operated by APL, Emirates Shipping Line and OOCL): Nansha – Chiwan – Hong Kong – Singapore – Colombo – Jawaharlal Nehru – Pipavav – Colombo – Port Klang – Singapore – Nansha CI2 (to be operated by Hamburg Süd, OOCL and Regional Container Lines): Shanghai – Ningbo – Xiamen – Hong Kong – Singapore – Colombo – Jawaharlal Nehru – Pipavav – Port Klang – Singapore – Hong Kong – Shanghai CI3 (to be operated by CMA CGM and Maersk Line): Xingang – Dalian – Qingdao – Kwangyang – Busan – Ningbo – Hong Kong – Singapore – Tanjung Pelepas – Colombo – Pipavav – Jawaharlal Nehru – Port Qasim – Singapore – Xingang
