The New World Alliance's (TNWA) PS-2 and Hapag-Lloyd's Asia-Mexico loop have been merged into a single weekly loop that uses six 5,500-TEU vessels operated by APL, which have come from TNWA Winter PRE loop.
This follows the relaunch by TNWA of its transpacific SAX and PS-2 loops, and the split into two loops of the Hapag-Lloyd/APL Asia-Mexico service, including the AME 2/MAX 2, said a report by AXS-Alphaliner News.
This service combination makes APL the only common partner, it said. The port rotation for the newly integrated service is: Xiamen, Hong Kong, Chiwan, Kaohsiung, Los Angeles, Lazaro Cardenas, Manzanillo, Los Angeles, Yokohama and Xiamen.
