Hyundai is joining CKYH’s AWE-5 service, which the Korean line will call HZX. The CKYH lines earlier this week announced an amended rotation for the service
Hyundai took slots on the previous rotation and will continue on the new one, which will go via the Suez Canal instead of the Panama Canal and includes new calls in Hong Kong, Cai Mep, Boston and Singapore, and drops calls in Shanghai, Busan and Savannah.
Hyundai will also join a Grand Alliance service on the same trade, albeit a transpacific all-water service. The service, which Hyundai dubs the New Savannah Express (NSE), as of May 19 will have a rotation of Savannah, Charleston, Kingston, Panama Canal, Busan, Shanghai, Xiamen, Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong, Yantian, Panama Canal, Kingston and Savannah.
