Five Asian lines tweak North East Asia Australia network
Five Asia-based container carriers have agreed to make rotational changes to the North East Asia Australia Service (AU2) to improve schedule reliability.

Japanese lines MOL, K-Line and NYK, and Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Lines (OOCL), and Taiwan's Evergreen Marine will jointly provide a direct linkage from Qingdao to Australia and shorten the transit time from Shanghai and Ningbo to Australia.

The first vessel of the new rotation will call at Yokohama port on 4 August.

AU2's new rotation will be Yokohama (Sun/Sun), Osaka (Tue/Tue), Busan (Wed/Thu), Qingdao (Fri/Sat), Shanghai (Tue/Wed), Ningbo (Wed/Thu), Melbourne (Tue/Thu), Sydney (Fri/Sun), Brisbane (Mon/Tue) and back to Yokohama.
