COSCO Shipping Upgrades U.S. Route Network: Adds 10 New East Coast and Gulf Services, AWE4 Launches First Direct Yangpu-New York Route

On June 24th, against the backdrop of sustained high demand and tight capacity on the China-U.S. shipping lanes, COSCO Shipping Lines announced a comprehensive upgrade of its Far East to U.S. East Coast/Gulf and South Asia to U.S. East Coast route network, launching 10 new services. These include 6 Far East to U.S. East Coast routes (AWE1/AWE2/AWE3/AWE4/AWE5/AWE7, with AWE4 introducing a new direct service from Yangpu, Hainan to New York on the U.S. East Coast), 2 Far East to U.S. Gulf routes (GME/GME2, calling at ports including Houston, Mobile, Tampa, and Miami), and 2 South Asia to U.S. East Coast routes (IPE/IPE2). Through route expansion, the addition of direct port calls, and optimized port rotation structures, the company aims to further strengthen its transportation service capabilities from Asia to the U.S. East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Previously in May, COSCO Shipping Lines had already launched 14 direct U.S. West Coast services, covering the U.S. Southwest and Northwest regions.
