Jan 21, 2026

On the occasion of The Convention between Carriers and Ports for OCEAN Alliance taking place from January 20 to 21, 2026, the CMA CGM Group, COSCO Shipping, Evergreen and OOCL launch OCEAN Alliance "DAY 10 Product". Operating on 41 services, OCEAN Alliance remains the largest operational alliance in the shipping industry.

For 2026, in partnership with COSCO Shipping, Evergreen, and OOCL, CMA CGM has designed a robust and flexible network to maintain best-in-class service reliability and efficiency. The Asia-Northern Europe trade will provide the most comprehensive product in the industry, with the broadest port coverage at both origin and destination.

A new OCEAN Alliance offer designed by CMA CGM to further improve services delivered to customers

Thanks to OCEAN Alliance, the Group's customers will benefit from an optimized and competitive offer for the tenth consecutive year through:

  • the deployment of 394 container ships, including 130 vessels for the CMA CGM Group, which continues to play a significant role in the alliance.
  • 41 services on the world's most important trades.
  • a total capacity of 5.3 million TEUs (Twenty Foot Equivalent).


The OCEAN Alliance “DAY 10 Product” will offer CMA CGM customers a set of optimized solutions to transport their goods, in particular to and from Asia, including:

  • 7 services between Asia and Northern Europe. 102 vessels operated by the OCEAN Alliance, including 30 by CMA CGM.
  • 4 services between Asia and the Mediterranean. 54 vessels operated by the OCEAN Alliance, including 26 by CMA CGM.

OCEAN Alliance, a stable, reliable, and trusted partnership extended at least until 2032

The launch of the "DAY 10 Product" highlights the continued strength of the OCEAN Alliance partnership between CMA CGM Group, COSCO Shipping, Evergreen, and OOCL, with a commitment to collaborate at least until 2032.

Since its inception in 2017, OCEAN Alliance has become the world’s largest operational shipping network, offering innovative and flexible solutions across key East-West routes. Connecting Asia to Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and North America's East and West coasts, the Alliance ensures agility, reliability, and efficiency through direct calls and optimized transit times that support customers' supply chains and operations.

Committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2050, the CMA CGM Group is implementing the best available solutions to reduce the environmental impact of maritime transport and logistics and is preparing to operate about 200 container ships that can be powered with low-carbon energy by 2031, part of which is already deployed on the OCEAN Alliance network."
