Ocean Carrier Realignments
Trigger Significant Change for
Intermodal
O
ver the past year, ocean carrier realignments through new alliances and consolidations
have transformed the path of international intermodal cargo to and from North America,
creating a variety of operational changes.
Since early 2017, the number
of alliances has declined from four

members, including CMA CGM,
COSCO, Orient Overseas Container
Line (OOCL) and Evergreen. The
members of the Ocean Alliance are
the ONE Network, Hapag Lloyd, United
Arab Shipping and Yang Ming. Maersk

optimize their services," such as
vessel planning for the ocean portion,

said Noel Hacegaba, chief commercial
officer at the Port of Long Beach.
"The efficiencies gained from consolidation and realignment
need to be met by efficiencies on the landside," Hacegaba said.
"The extent that the ocean carriers under the new alliances can
coordinate operations with trucking and rail providers will be a
key to determine the value and advantages that the new alliances
can deliver."
An example, he said, was the ONE Network's move to
