CKYH to Rationalize
Far East/U.S. East Coast Services
CKYH Alliance (Coscon, "K"Line, Yang Ming, Hanjin Shipping) announced today that it was rationalizing its Far East - U.S. East Coast services effective April 2009. CKYH Alliance believes this service rationalization will enable them to provide customers with more comprehensive service covering most ports in the Far East and on the US East Coast.
In addition to these current routes, CKYH Alliance is launching a new service, AWE-5. Though AWE-5 has previously been in operation on a temporary basis, the Alliance decided to run it regularly in order to continue providing top quality service to its customers.
Details are as follows:
