OOCL announced the reshuffle of the Middle East services effective from the end of July, 2018.
The Ocean Alliance will offer a total of four loops serving Asia and Middle East ports with competitive transit times following the merging of the current ME2 product into the ME1 to form a single loop.
With this reshuffle, OOCL will be able to optimize the network and enhance the reliability of the products to customers.
Service coverage will continue to include Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Pusan, Southeast Asia as well as major port calls to the Middle East region such as Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Sohar, Hamad, Bahrain, and Jubail.
The new ME1 port rotation will be as follows:
Tianjin - Pusan - Qingdao - Shanghai - Shekou - Singapore - Sohar - Jebel Ali - Hamad - Dammam - Jubail - Singapore - Tianjin
