The COSCO SHIPPING ROSE vessel is operated by COSCO SHIPPING / OOCL on the Asia-US service (AWE6 service). AWE6 is a flagship service built by COSCO SHIPPING from May 2021 based on customer needs. The AWE6 service consists of 18 vessels with a capacity of 9,000-14,000TEU, calling at major ports in the Middle East, the Mediterranean region, the East and West coasts of the United States.

This is COSCO SHIPPING's weekly pendulum service with the most vessels and longest voyage journey. The AWE6 service is designed so that ships can double call at Cai Mep and Hai Phong ports per journey.

For the southbound service, crosses the Indian Ocean via Singapore, direct call Khalifa, Abu Dhabi regularly and runs through the Suez Canal. It takes 16 days to reach Piraeus port which is the largest port in the Mediterranean, and provides customers with more options for transportation to the inland region of the Mediterranean through the serried inland transportation services of Piraeus port.  

After crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean Sea, the service will keep going to the East coast of the United States, direct call Savannah, Norfolk, New York and Boston and then back to Piraeus. 

After returning to Asia, the vessel double calls Cai Mep port again and return to China via Haiphong Port. The vessel will continue to cross the Pacific Ocean and direct call Long Beach and Oakland of the West Coast of USA as the design of eastbound service (named AAC service). 

AWE6 service is providing more convenient and stable direct services to customers.
