HMM has announced an updated East–West service network covering Asia–Europe, Asia–North America and Asia–Middle East trade routes, with implementation scheduled for April 2026.
The company said the revised structure is intended to improve service reliability through an optimized global network and added that additional vessel capacity will come from newbuilds delivered during 2025 and 2026.
According to HMM, the 2026 port rotations will continue to use the route around the Cape of Good Hope.
The carrier said it is closely monitoring developments affecting the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Suez Canal and will inform customers if changes to East–West services are required.
The updated network includes multiple services across the Asia–Pacific Southwest and Northwest, Asia–US East Coast, Asia–North Europe, Asia–Mediterranean and Asia–Middle East corridors, as well as an India–North America and India–Europe offering.
HMM also plans to provide additional dedicated feeder services via Pusan to support connections from ports including Kaohsiung and Xiamen.
