Evergreen Marine Corp. has lengthened the frequency of its U.S. East
Coast/East Coast of South America "SNA" container service by withdrawing three
of the previous six vessels it employed on this route.
The revised frequency is 14 days, compared to the previous weekly
service frequency.
The Taiwanese carrier has also made various changes to the rotation of
the service. Northbound, calls at Paranagua have been stopped, but the ports of Rio de
Janeiro and Sao Francisco do Sul are now called every voyage northbound.
In May, Evergreen reduced the fleet of the SNA service from seven
vessels to six and stopped calls to Montevideo, Uruguay, and Cristobal, Panama, whilst
adding a call at Kingston, Jamaica.
Evergreen declined to comment on the reasons for, and likely duration,
of the fall in sailing frequency for this service.
Details of the revised service are posted on the global shipping
database ComPairData at https://www.compairdata.com.
