HMM, ONE and Yang Ming East–West Service Network 2026: Routes and Port Rotations

1. Overview of the 2026 East–West Network Update by HMM, ONE and Yang Ming

HMM, Ocean Network Express (ONE), and Yang Ming Marine Transport have each released details of their East–West service networks for 2026, covering the major trade lanes linking Asia with Europe, North America and the Middle East. All three carriers confirmed that their updated networks will take effect from April 2026.

According to the carriers, the revised networks are designed to enhance service reliability and improve operational stability, supported by additional capacity from newbuild vessels scheduled for delivery throughout 2025 and 2026.

Notably, all services are currently planned to operate via the Cape of Good Hope, rather than the Suez Canal. The carriers also confirmed that they continue to closely monitor developments in the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Suez Canal, and will adjust their networks if conditions change.

12. Dedicated Feeder Services via Pusan

All three carriers confirmed the deployment of dedicated feeder services via Pusan, supporting Kaohsiung, Xiamen, Tokyo, Kobe and Nagoya, to ensure seamless connectivity with the main East–West loops.

13. Key Takeaways for Vietnamese Shippers

1. Cape of Good Hope Routing Signals a Shift Toward Stability

Designing the network around the Cape of Good Hope from the outset indicates a strategic priority on schedule reliability and risk mitigation, rather than the shortest possible transit time. While voyages may be longer compared to Suez routings, the trade-off is greater predictability.

2. Vietnam’s Strategic Role Is Strengthened

The frequent inclusion of Cai Mep and Haiphong across multiple US and Europe loops (PS7, VSE, FLP, FP2, EC2, EC3, FE1, FE2, MP2/MS2) confirms Vietnam’s position as a key origin port, not merely a feeder market.

3. Pusan Emerges as a Core Northeast Asia Hub

Dedicated feeder connections via Pusan reinforce a clear operating model:
Feeder → Pusan Hub → Main East–West Loop, improving connection reliability and reducing misconnection risks.

4. Operational Recommendations from Real Logistics

• Shippers should plan longer lead times for post-April 2026 shipments

• Maintain multiple routing options (US West Coast vs East Coast; North Europe vs Mediterranean)

• For LCL or smaller volumes, prioritize services with stable consolidation hubs such as Singapore or Pusan
