What is a carrier alliance and why do they matter?

A carrier alliance is a strategic partnership between shipping lines that collaborate to share vessels, routes, and resources. These alliances are essential in the global logistics industry, as they improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance service reliability. By pooling capacity, carriers can optimise routes, offer broader coverage, and minimise transit times.

To reflect the recent alliance changes, Uniserve has developed an updated version for 2025, offering a clear and concise view of the latest developments in an easy-to-read PDF. Click the link below to download the updated infographic and explore the changes.

As the UK’s leading independent logistics and global trade management provider, Uniserve have major contracts and space arrangements in place with all three alliances and are the UK & Rotterdam’s representative of UniOcean Lines.

This places us in the best possible position to offer competitive pricing along with full flexibility of service.
