Yang Ming adds direct Cai Mep call to US East Coast

Yang Ming has enhanced its Trans-Pacific East Coast services by adding a direct call from Cai Mep to the US East Coast on the EC2 service.

The two-year adjustment revises rotations for EC1, EC2, and EC3, improving transit times and providing greater flexibility between Southeast Asia and the US East Coast.

For EC2, eastbound vessels will maintain Panama routing while adding Cai Mep and removing Xiamen; westbound will switch to Cape of Good Hope routing, adding Halifax and Singapore and removing Manzanillo and Pusan.

EC1 westbound will add Manzanillo and Pusan, while EC3 westbound will omit Halifax, with imports shifted to EC2.

The first affected voyages are HMM Victory 0058E (Cai Mep, 22 December 2025), Hyundai Pluto 0043W (Halifax, 10 December 2025), Conti Contessa 0022W (Manzanillo, 16 December 2025), and One Munchen 0042W (Jacksonville, 30 November 2025).

These changes optimise rotations, enhance operational efficiency, and expand routing options for Yang Ming customers.

In November, Yang Ming (America) Corporation (YMA) transitioned its Houston-based customer service operations to the company’s Global Service Center (GSC) and consolidated selected corporate functions at its New Jersey headquarters.
