    THE Alliance announces service network adjustments for 2024

    The setup of THE Alliance’s network has been reconfigured to ensure a comprehensive port coverage. The enhanced service setup will be effective from April 2024, according to Hapag-Lloyd.

    One of key highlights in 2024 will be deploying additional tonnage in several services to ensure the most comprehensive coverage and the most reliable schedule under the existing operational conditions.

    In the Asia-North Europe Trade and Transpacific South West Trade, THEA will extend the 2023 Winter Program until further notice.
