Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation has unveiled its 2026 East-West service network. The enhanced service setup will enter into effect in April 2026.

Compared to the 2025 service portfolio, the Trans-Pacific network will further strengthen connections to Southeast Asia with increased sailing frequencies. Asia–Europe network will be refined with feeder coverage to ensure stable and flexible East–West connectivity. With the optimized service product, Yang Ming will continue to provide its valued customers with reliable and robust services.
