So as established regarding the new shipowning alliance P3 Network, that it is constituted recently by the first three world-wide companies of the field of the marine transport of line Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Company and CMA CGM ( on 6 December 2013), now federal agency American Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) has decided to deepen the examination on the operating and commercial activities of the shipowning alliance G6, that it is formed to end 2011 from companies APL, Hapag-Lloyd, Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) and Orient Overseas Container Linens (OOCL) ( on 20 December 2011).
The new decision of the FMC follows the intention expressed intention at the end last year from the G6 Alliance to upgrade own transpacifici services and ocean-going liners ( on 3 December 2013). The American agency federal has announced that the companies of the G6 have introduced to the FMC demanded in order to extend their cooperation to all the main routes between Asia and the western coast of the United States and between Europe, the Mediterranean and the USA Gulf and the coast oriental of the United States, cooperation - it has specified the FMC - that previews the 180-220 employment ships of the maximum ability to 14.000 teu and that previews to make use of or more Centers than Service.
"It is absolutely necessary - the commissioner of the FMC, Richard A. Lidinsky has explained - than the Commission fully comprises the implications of that he is proposed. He arouses detail worry as the proposed Centers of Service will operate independently regarding the parts of the agreement and as the five members of the alliance that is take part of the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (TSA) (companies APL, Hapag-Lloyd, HMM, NYK and OOCL, ndr) will act independently regarding the single independent carrier (the Japanese MOL, ndr) in defining the hires of determined routes covered from the agreement".
