EVERGREEN Line is implementing service enhancements for its services to/from Southeast Asia in light of the strong growth potential of the Intra-Asia trades.
The carrier will launch its new Taiwan, Shenzhen-Shekou, Malacca Strait Service (TSS) later in March and will also introduce a dedicated Taiwan-Hong Kong service (THK).
Evergreen will deploy three ships of 1,600 TEU on the TSS service, connecting Taiwan, Southern China, Singapore and Malaysia. The start of this weekly service will be marked by the inaugural sailing from Kaohsiung on March 19.
The port rotation is: Hong Kong, Shenzhen-Shekou, Port Klang, Penang, Port Klang, Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas and Kaohsiung.
"This new service string will not only provide an efficient link for regional trade but also connect into the global networks of Evergreen Line and its alliance partners via hubs at Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas," a statement from the carrier said.
In addition, this month will be the start of the THK service. Employing a 1,200 TEU vessel, the weekly service has a port rotation of Taichung, Taipei, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong and Taichung with its maiden voyage from Hong Kong on March 25.
The aim is to improve service frequency between Taiwan and Hong Kong and to increase connectivity to Evergreen's global network.
Moreover the service will provide a Blue Way coastal feeder option between Taichung, Taipei and Kaohsiung, thereby significantly reducing the demand for trucking across Taiwan.
This arrangement is in line with Evergreen's environmental policy to contribute to the sustainability of the natural environment.
