The largest container shipping alliance, the 2M alliance (including Maersk and MSC), has decided to make some changes in two services in the transpacific route.

Firstly, the TP10 / Amberjack service will have the following new rotation, effective from May, connecting southern and central China and Korea with the east coast of the United States:

Qingdao (China) – Ningbo (China) – Shanghai (China) – Busan (Korea) – Panama Canal (Panama) – Kingston (USA) – Charleston (USA) – Savannah (USA) – Norfolk (USA) – Kingston (USA) – Panama Canal (Panama) – Busan (North Korea) – Qingdao (China)

Cruises to the ports of Jacksonville and Wilmington will be removed and switched to the TP16/Emerald service, which will be updated starting May 6 with the 8,238 TEU Mount Everest.

Similarly, starting in May, the TP16/Emerald service will follow a new rotation, removing the port of Norfolk but adding the ports of Jacksonville and Wilmington to compensate for the removal of these ports on the TP10/Amberjack service:

Xiamen (China) – Yantian (China) – Shanghai (China) – Busan (China) – Panama Canal (Panama) – Cristobal (Panama) – Savannah (USA) – Jacksonville (USA) – Wilmington ( USA) – New York (USA) – Suez Canal (Egypt) – Singapore (Malaysia) – Xiamen (China)
