eeSea analysts' long-term schedule reviews have revealed that OOCL will be ending their partnership with CMA CGM, Pacific International Lines, Cosco, Evergreen, and Wan Hai Lines on the Transpacific Latin Pacific 3 service, also known as the OOCL - TLP3.
The robust China to Latin America service boasts 11 Evergreen owned and operated vessels in the 8.5K TEU range and includes direct weekly calls from Ningbo to Manzanillo. OOCL's online portal shows the schedule information was last updated on June 8, and does not include information for any sailings after the EVER LUNAR's arrival in Hong Kong on June 16, leadings us to confirm their immediaate departure from the VSA.
CMA CGM's port-to-port schedules, which refer to the service as the CMA - ACSA3, currently don't exhibit any departure dates out of the Westbound last load port Valparaiso beyond July 16. If these findings persist into early July the our liner database will be updated to reflect CMA CGM's departure from the VSA partnership as well.
The other two services in this series, the CMA - ACSA1 and CMA - ACSA2, do not currently exhibit any clues to partnership dissolutions.
