Evergreen launches Far East Panama Service

Evergreen has launched a new container service linking Far East and Panama to satisfy the fast-growing shipping markets of Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean region.

Evergreen altogether deploys eight 2,728 TEU ships on the Far East Panama Service (FPS) and the maiden voyage was operated by Aphrodite, which departed in Kaohsiung port on May 24, a company statement of Evergreen said. Port rotation of the FPS is: Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ningbo, Mexico, Panama and Kaosiung. One rotation is expected to cost 56 days. FPS is specially designed for the two emerging markets of Central and South America and the Caribbean. The upgrade of the former China-US East Coast Service (CUE) of Evergreen will help to improve the carrier's service quality as it can deliver cargo from Far East to Central and South America and Caribbean in a much shorter time, the statement said.
