Members of the G6 Alliance announced additional void sailings within their Asia-Europe product to adjust to market demand.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines , Nippon Yusen Kaisha, "K" Line, Hanjin, Hapag-Lloyd and Yang Ming have agreed to create a new alliance covering all East-West trade lanes namely, Asia-Europe / Mediterranean, Asia-North America West Coast, Asia-North America East Coast, Transatlantic and Asia-Middle East / Persian Gulf / Red Sea.

Hapag-Lloyd ordered five new vessels, which are supposed to be predominantly employed along South American routes . With a length of 333 meters, a beam of 48 meters and a capacity of 10,500 TEU, the vessels in the new “Valparaiso Express” class are tailor-made for the expanded locks and channels of the canal.

A new article by Hapag-Lloyd highlights how important changes will bring to the shipping industry the expansion of the Panama Canal, which is one of the biggest construction sites in the world. A total of 4.4 million cubic meters of cement has been poured here since the first turn of the shovel – more than was used to construct the canal over 100 years ago. And almost the same amount of earth is being moved once again as it was back then – around 150 million cubic meters. The reopening has been delayed again and again.

As part of a pilot test, Hapag-Lloyd will be the first shipping company to use an innovative, cloud-based stowage-planning software developed by the US supplier XVELA. stowage-planning and cargo data of the individual ships in ports will now be available in real-time for both the shipping company and the terminal.
