The Alliance Restore Transpacific Service (EC4)
On 15 April, THE Alliance will restore the Asia-US east coast 4 (EC4/SUEZ1) service that was withdrawn in November for the winter lull season and will return with a new rotation:
Kaohsiung – Xiamen – Yantian – Cai Mep – Singapore – Norfolk – Savannah – Charleston – New York – Singapore – Kaohsiung.
The former call at Hong Kong will be omitted and the loop diverted from transiting the Suez Canal to the Cape of Good Hope on both east and westbound voyages.
The EC4 service will turn in 13 weeks and will deploy up to 13 ships, of 13,000 to 14,000 teu, from Hapag-Lloyd, ONE and Yang Ming, starting with the 14,080 teu YM Warmth from Kaohsiung.
