Hyundai Merchant Marine plans to help shield South Korean shippers and its logistics sectors from the repercussions of Hanjin Shipping entering receivership.

Hapag-Lloyd shareholders Friday paved the way to a merger with United Arab Shipping Company and creation of the world’s fifth-largest container shipping line.

No surprises as a weak October encourages G6 to withdraw sailings on major east-west trades.

South Korea’s second-largest shipping line posted an overall net profit in the second quarter.

Container lines in the eastbound trans-Pacific this week were unable to hold on to their rate increases of last week.

Falling spot market and rising capacity don't bode well for Asia-Mediterranean freight rates.

This week’s arrival of the largest ship ever to dock at the Port of New York and New Jersey is bringing into focus the challenges the port faces in adapting to an era of fewer, but larger ships.

In what is possibly the most counter-intuitive development so far in this year’s unconventional trans-Pacific peak-shipping season, carriers have announced the suspension of two Asia-U.S. services.

Another week, another step closer for CMA CGM toward acquiring NOL.

Betting on the troubled container shipping industry probably makes more sense than investing in it, and a bookmaker would be salivating at the permutations available to the eight shipping lines “orphaned” by the Ocean Alliance that was formed last week.

CMA CGM, China Cosco Shipping, Evergreen Line and OOCL on Wednesday morning are expected to announce in Shanghai that they will form a shipping alliance, a move aimed at blunting the power of the major vessel-sharing agreement between the two largest global container lines, Maersk Line and Mediterranean Shipping Co.

Hapag-Lloyd swung to a net profit of 114 million euros ($128 million) last year from a 604 million euro loss in 2014, posting its first year in the black since 2010 and closing the gap with industry pacesetters.

Hong Kong-listed OOCL is committed to remaining with the G6 Alliance, said chief financial officer Alan Tung, but "everyone is talking to everyone" as two huge merger and acquisition deals threaten to redraw the alliance structures by the end of the year.

CMA CGM and Cosco are leading efforts to create a new vessel-sharing alliance that could include Evergreen Line and OOCL and would shake up three of the four major east-west carrier groupings, the Alphaliner newsletter reported.

To mitigate service disruptions caused by potential consolidation, APL, CMA CGM, China Shipping Container Lines and Cosco could elect to participate in more than one major alliance during a transition phase, Federal Maritime Commissioner William Doyle said last week.

CMA CGM’s plans to bring APL into the O3 Alliance once the NOL acquisition is done has put the spotlight on the G6 Alliance and what the loss of its Singapore-based member would mean.
