Evergreen will deploy eight 2,728 teu-size vessels with the first vessel, Aphrodite I 0001-156E, starting on May 24, 2008 from Kaohsiung. The port rotation is as follows:
Kaohsiung − Hong Kong − Shanghai− Ningbo - Lazaro Cardenas − Colon Container Terminal (Panama) −Kaohsiung
This new service is restructured from the existing China-US East Coast Service(CUE)to enhance the services with sufficient port coverage, greater capacity and improved transit time. This will offer customers the opportunity to grow business across the regions.
