SEOUL : CJ Logistics, South Koreas largest third-party logistics provider, signed a collaboration agreement with Ocean Network Express (ONE) on 3 August, a month after sealing similar pacts with other carriers such as Evergreen Marine Corporation and SM Line. <\/p>\n
The liner operators hope to increase cargo volumes through CJ Logistics network, while the latter aims to secure competitive freight rates. <\/p>\n
CJ Logistics and ONE have also agreed to work together to secure container volumes to and from Asia, and to develop sea-land integrated transportation services. The plan is to jointly develop additional services such as the end-to-end services to deliver containers from shippers to receivers via land and sea. <\/p>\n
Particularly,CJ Logistics eyes business from THE Alliance, of which ONE is a member. Hapag-Lloyd, HMM, Yang Ming are other member of THE Alliance. <\/p>\n
The collaboration with ONE means that CJ Logistics has secured links with members of two of the three major container shipping alliances. <\/p>\n
In late June, CJ Logistics said it was hoping to gain more cargoes from the Ocean Alliance after signing a similar agreement with alliance member Evergreen. CMA CGM, COSCO Shipping Lines, and OOCL are the other alliance members. <\/p>\n
CJ Logistics stated that the alliance members are ocean-going liner operators that each have competitive advantages in certain ports and routes. Securing these collaborations therefore mean a wider range of options for CJ Logistics in the global container shipping market, creating an opportunity to enhance its competitiveness. <\/p>\n
