2025年1月后

江湖不再有2M联盟

据壹航运刚刚获悉：今天，马士基发布官方公告称，地中海航运公司(MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company)和马士基双方一致同意，全球最大航运联盟--2M联盟将于2025年1月起终止运营！

在联合声明中，A.P.穆勒-马士基首席执行官柯文胜先生(Vincent Clerc)和地中海航运首席执行官索伦·托夫特先生(Soren Toft)表示：

“地中海航运和马士基认识到，自两家公司于 2015 年签署为期 10 年的联盟协议以来，情况发生了很大变化，终止2M联盟运营将为两家公司继续追求各自的战略发展铺平道路。我们非常感谢此前建立的伙伴关系，并期待在协议的剩余时间内继续进行强有力的合作。在此期间，我们仍然致力于为地中海航运及马士基的客户提供 2M 联盟服务。”

今天的声明对目前2M联盟航线服务没有直接影响。两家公司的客户服务团队将与各自的客户进行沟通，在此期间和在 2M 联盟逐步终止期间为其提供帮助。

2M 联盟相关背景：

• 2M是集装箱航运公司共舱协议(vessel sharing agreement)

• 2015年，马士基和地中海航运签订协议，旨在确保在亚欧、跨大西洋和跨太平洋航线上能够进行有竞争力、成本效益高的运营

• 2M联盟协议为期10年，如终止，需要提前2年通知
