Yang Ming has announced adjustments to its Transpacific East Coast (EC) services, affecting two of its US East Coast loops — EC2 and EC3.
The changes, which take effect in early August 2025, involve alterations to port calls, including the omission and repositioning of Jacksonville on the respective rotations.
Starting with the YM TOTALITY 0025E/W, expected to call Xiamen on 5 August 2025, the EC2 service will omit Jacksonville until further notice.
The change is part of a route adjustment aimed at streamlining operations.
- Current EC2 Rotation:
Xiamen – Yantian – Ningbo – Shanghai – Pusan – Manzanillo – Savannah – Charleston – Jacksonville – Manzanillo – Pusan – Xiamen
- New EC2 Rotation:
Xiamen – Yantian – Ningbo – Shanghai – Pusan – Manzanillo – Savannah – Charleston – Manzanillo – Pusan – Xiamen
The EC3 service will undergo a structural rotation change to call Jacksonville prior to Savannah, starting with the ONE AQUILA 0029E/W, scheduled to arrive at Laem Chabang on 2 August 2025.
- Current EC3 Rotation:
Laem Chabang – Cai Mep – Singapore – Colombo – Halifax – New York – Savannah – Jacksonville – Charleston – Norfolk – New York – Halifax – Singapore – Laem Chabang
- New EC3 Rotation:
Laem Chabang – Cai Mep – Singapore – Colombo – Halifax – New York – Jacksonville – Savannah – Charleston – Norfolk – New York – Halifax – Singapore – Laem Chabang
These adjustments are part of Yang Ming’s ongoing efforts to optimise its Transpacific network and improve service reliability.
In April, Yang Ming approved an extension of the lease of Terminal No.70 at Kaohsiung Port for another 20 years through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hong Ming Terminal & Stevedoring Corp.
