Evergreen to launch new intra-Asia services

Maintaining a positive viewpoint about future development of the intra-Asia seaborne trade, Evergreen Line is realigning its fleet deployment and launching new services, effective from mid-October 2011.

The existing Hua Bei - Hong Kong - Indonesia service (HBI) will be reorganized into two feeder loops. The new Hua Bei - Hong Kong service (HBH) and the Tanjung Pelepas - Indonesia service (PIS) will fully cover the scope of the HBI string and better meet the demands of those changing markets.

In addition, Evergreen Line will join Cheng Lie’s China - Philippines - Indonesia service (CN1) with the deployment of one vessel. This joint service adds another sailing of Qingdao - Hong Kong connection and extends the service link to Central China and the Philippines.
