OOCL rejoins Hapag-Lloyd transatlantic shuttle

OOCL rejoins Hapag-Lloyd transatlantic shuttle    Hong Kong-based liner carrier OOCL said Tuesday it will rejoin as a slot buyer a Hapag-Lloyd-operated transatlantic service due to restart March 13.
   The German line said Monday it is starting its ASE service again, with an added call at Hamburg. The service will now have a Hamburg, Antwerp, New York, and Hamburg rotation. Hapag-Lloyd shuttered the service during the winter.
   Other slot buyers on the AES, before it was suspended, were NYK Line, Hyundai Merchant Marine and Hamburg Sud. OOCL is a partner of Hapag-Lloyd in the Grand Alliance.
