Dear Valued Customers,

OOCL is pleased to announce the launch of its new China Australia Express Loop (A3X), with the maiden sailing scheduled from Qingdao on 27 July 2026.

With the introduction of A3X, OOCL will offer four weekly sailings across its A3 network, increasing service frequency and capacity for both importers and exporters and reinforcing its leading position in the Northeast Asia–East Coast Australia trade.
