Good to know

Yang Ming, in a few facts

  • Traces its lineage to the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company of 1872, making the heritage older than almost any rival's.
  • Partner in the Premier Alliance with ONE and HMM on the east–west trades.
  • Deliberately sat out the 24,000 TEU race, betting on mid-size ships that fit more ports — full coverage of its fleet is in build on this site.
