Recently, the policy of "reciprocal tariffs" pursued by US President Donald Trump, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, has stirred waves in the global economic field, and the transportation market has been the first to suffer from unprecedented difficulties.
From significant fluctuations in freight prices to changes in operating strategies on various routes, the impact of the tariff fight is gradually being felt. In this wave of industry turmoil, several shipping companies such as Ocean Network Shipping (ONE) and WHL have moved to make a series of adjustments to their operating routes, attempting to find a new developmental balance in a complex situation.
Ocean Network Shipping (ONE) has taken the lead in announcing the opening of a new Thai-Vietnam East India 2 (TE2) route. The new route is scheduled to officially depart on 20 April, with the first vessels set off from the anchor at Kai Le port in Ho Chi Minh City.
