Ocean Alliance, the world s largest container shipping alliance in carrying capacity, launched a new route linking northern China and Europe at Tianjin Port on Friday.
As the first foreign trade ocean lane opened at the port this year, the route aims to improve the maritime transport corridor between the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area and Europe and better serve the dual-circulation development paradigm, Beijing Daily reported.
Ten transocean container ships of Evergreen Marine Corp, a member of the Ocean Alliance based in Taiwan, China, will travel from Tianjin Port to major European ports such as Antwerp, Hamburg and Rotterdam once a week via Singapore, Colombo and the Suez Canal, providing a new convenient sea transport channel for import and export

Mega ship heading this way IF you go down to the docks today you are in for a really big Southampton surprise as the world s largest container ship is due in port. OOCL Shenzhen can carry a staggering 8,063 containers on her massive decks, so many that if they were laid end to end they would stretch more than 30 miles, that s nearly as far from Southampton docks, along the coast, to Bournemouth. The first in the latest breed of giant vessels capable of carrying huge amounts of cargo, OOCL Shenzhen was expected alongside Southampton Container Terminals (SCT) as part of the ship s maiden voyage linking the Far East and Europe. So big that she is almost as long as three football pitches, the mega vessel only officially entered service a few weeks ago and Southampton is OOCL Shenzhen s first European port-of-call.
