Evergreen names tenth 7,000TEU S-series ship

Evergreen has named the last of ten 7,024-TEU S-series vessels built in Japan at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Kobe shipyard.

Due for delivery in January 2008, the newly named Ever Salute, is scheduled to join Evergreen Line's transpacific services. The first eight vessels in the series are now operating on the company's new China Europe Shuttle (CES) that links Asia and North Europe, while the ninth vessel, Ever Safety, is scheduled for delivery in October and will also enter the transpacific trade.
The S-series ships have won global recognition for their advanced design features, which minimise their impact on the environment. With many of the world's leading manufacturers and retailers now seeking to work in partnership with ocean carriers who are committed to environment-friendly policies, Evergreen Line says it has been inundated with enquiries for more information on its S-series initiative.
