Ocean Network Express (ONE) is set to deploy 16 transpacific services starting in February 2025, following the exit of Hapag-Lloyd from The Alliance. With a fleet size of around 1.69 million TEU, ONE aims to maintain quality end-to-end direct services with high schedule reliability in the Transpacific trade.
Expansion of Transpacific Services
-
- ONE’s decision to deploy 16 core weekly services on the Transpacific trade reflects its commitment to enhancing connectivity and service offerings in the region. This move follows the exit of Hapag-Lloyd from The Alliance, signalling ONE’s strategic response to fill the gap in service provision.
Focus on Quality and Reliability
-
- CEO Jeremy Nixon emphasizes the importance of offering quality end-to-end direct services with high schedule reliability. By incorporating sufficient sea speed buffers and designing core products to mitigate the impact of Hapag’s departure in 2025, ONE aims to ensure minimal disruption to its network and customers post-CNY disengagement.
Strategic Positioning and Market Share Goals
-
- ONE’s deployment of 16 transpacific services aligns with its broader strategic objectives, including its “Two-Pronged ONE 2030 Strategy” aimed at achieving greater market share. As the world’s sixth-largest container carrier, ONE seeks to strengthen its position in the industry by expanding its service offerings and maintaining operational excellence.
