Along with partner Ocean Network Express (ONE) the existing RLM service is being extended to Pusan, Qingtao and Shanghai in addition to the current rotation.

Four 2,500 teu vessels are being deployed on the service with RCL contributing one vessel, the Carinthia. The rebranded RLM2 commenced on 3 April from Laem Chabang.
