For the next five years, Ocean Network Express (ONE), HMM (Hyundai Merchant Marine) and Yang Ming Marine Transportation are committing to an ocean carrier partnership under the newly named Premier Alliance, the shipping companies announced Sept. 7.
The partnership, which is scheduled to launch in February, stems from a cooperative agreement that included the three companies and Hapag-Lloyd, which is now teaming with Maersk under the Gemini Corporation banner.
The Premier Alliance is made up of mainline services across the major East-West Tradelines, including services between Asia and the North American West Coast.
“We are very pleased to announce that our strategic partnership with HMM and Yang Ming in the East-West trades will be further continued,” ONE CEO Jeremy Nixon said. “The close network collaboration that exists between the three companies will be further strengthened and enhanced under this new collaboration starting from February 2025.”
