The shipping company Ocean Network Express (ONE) announced on Thursday the opening of a new maritime service that will connect Asia with the west coast of Mexico , joining other shipping lines that seek to take advantage of the demand for capacity between these points, mainly in shipments of Asian goods to the Latin American country.

The new ONE service will be called Asia Latin America Express 4 (ALX4) and will rotate Shanghai – Busan – Lázaro Cárdenas – Shanghai.

“This new service will offer customers a premium loop rotation serving trade between North Asia and Mexico, as well as additional network coverage and frequency between Asia and Mexico. “ALX4 joins our existing ALX1, ALX2 and ALX3 services to provide an extensive network connecting Asia and South America,” according to a statement from the shipping line.

ONE ranks as the sixth largest maritime container carrier in the world, managing 1,915,867 20-foot containers (TEU) and 243 container ships, according to Alphaliner data updated as of July 11.

ONE joins other shipping lines, such as CMA CGM , MSC , Cosco Shipping and Hapag-Lloyd , which have announced in recent months new maritime services linking the coasts of Southeast Asia with those of western Mexico.

In the first five months of this year, Mexican Pacific ports had operated two million 716 thousand 934 TEU , 17.9% more than in the same period last year, where one million 069 thousand 503 TEU have been in import services or 15.9 % more, according to the comparison periods, according to data from the General Coordination of Ports and Merchant Marine , of the Ministry of the Navy .
