Carriers have firm plans for transpacific capacity cuts

With the trade war between China and the US escalates, carriers have started to suspend or adjust transpacific services. Premier member ONE confirmed that its PN4 service which had planned to restore in May, would be “suspended until further notice”. Meanwhile, its EC2 service will cancel the port call at Wilmington from Week 19.
