By Tea Grbic, December 2, 2016
The members of the OCEAN Alliance; COSCO Container Lines, CMA CGM, Evergreen Line and Orient Overseas Container Line, signed a document titled the Day One Product on November 3rd 2016. This document states the planned OCEAN Alliance's network, which also includes the port rotation for each service loop.

To offer one of the most comprehensive service coverage in the market on the following trade lanes, the Day One network attempts to deploy about 350 container vessels with the estimated total carrying capacity of 3.5 million TEUs. The vessel deployment details for each service loop will be released soon.

  • 20 Transpacific services (estimated 160 port pairs, with 13 Asia – West Coast North America services, 7 Asia – East Coast North America and U.S. Gulf services)
  • 6 Asia – Europe services (estimated 110 port pairs)

  • 3 Transatlantic services (estimated 70 port pairs)
  • 5 Asia – Middle East services (estimated 70 port pairs)
