The Ocean Alliance comprising CMA CGM, Cosco Shipping, Evergreen, and OOCL unveiled its east - west network – The Ocean Alliance Day10 product - for the year starting 1 April 2026 on 20 January in Boao, China. The network comprises 22 Transpacific services which start from May, seven Asia – Europe and four Asia – Med services, as well as three Asia – Middle East services, two suspended Asia - Red Sea services, and three Transatlantic services operated separately by the four alliance members with Ocean Network Express (ONE).
First and foremost, it should be noted that the Ocean Alliance's itinerary, within the four-way alliance, confirms that its ships will call at the ports of Genoa, La Spezia, and Trieste. Secondly, it should be noted that the voyage route will continue around the Cape of Good Hope, "with the possibility of using the Suez Canal as a flexible option," as COSCO, for example, explains

Specifically, flights AEM1 (Med1) and AEM6 (Med5) to Italy on the tenth day will be the first flights. The first flight will continue operating The route is Qingdao – Shanghai – Ningbo – Kaohsiung – Hong Kong – Yantian – Singapore – Piraeus – Genoa – La Spezia – Foz – Valencia – Singapore – Qingdao. The second leg will be updated to include a stop in Ningbo.
Thus, the route in the updated version will be as follows: Ningbo – Busan – Shanghai – Shekou – Singapore – Alexandria – Beirut – Rijeka – Koper – Trieste – Alexandria – Jeddah – Port Klang – Ningbo.
Changes to the route resulting from the Suez Canal transit will be limited. A stop at the port of Piraeus will be added to the return journey of Mediterranean Shipping Line 1, while Mediterranean Shipping Line 5 will eliminate the Beirut port stop and add a stop at the port of Malta instead

As mentioned, other services offered outside the Ocean Alliance will join this network. COSCO, OOCL, and CMA CGM (in addition to the external company "One") will jointly provide EMA container services, which, as mentioned previously, will reach the ports of Iskenderun, Aliaga, Istanbul, Piraeus, Salerno, New York, Norfolk, Savannah, and Iskenderun.
The maritime transport service between the Middle East, North Africa, and the western Mediterranean Atlantic, operated by COSCO and OOCL, will finally reach the Italian cities of La Spezia, Genoa, and Vaddo Ligure, and its route will be updated this This includes a stop in Voss. Thus, its final itinerary in the new version will be as follows: La Spezia - Genoa - Vadò - Voss - Valencia - Algeciras - Halifax - New York - Norfolk - Savannah - Miami - Algeciras - La Spezia.
