The cooperation will be effective from February 2025 onwards and cover Asia to North Europe and Asia to Mediterranean trades, said an official release.

MSC sails on more than 300 trade routes, calling at over 520 ports, the release added.

ONE - which was established on July 7, 2017 by the integration of 'K' Line, MOL and NYK, - HMM and Yang Ming Marine Transportation (Yang Ming) announced that in addition to the slot charter agreement with MSC, the three companies will continue to cooperate closely under Premier Alliance, effective for five years from February 2025.
