OOCL has linked up with ANL and COSCON to create the Asia Australia Consortium (A3).

The A3 will launch three dedicated services, namely the Northern Express, Central Express and Southern Express, connecting 10 major northeast Asia ports with Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in Australia.

“Subject to regulatory approval, the A3 plans to launch the new products starting from September or October and further details will be made available in due course,” OOCL said in a release.

OOCL and COSCON are joining forces in another alliance next year – the Ocean Alliance which will operate on the major east-west tradelanes with Evergreen and CMA CGM.
