EVERGREEN DROPS SINGAPORE FROM ROUND-THE-WORLD SERVICE

EVERGREEN DROPS SINGAPORE FROM ROUND-THE-WORLD SERVICE    Taiwanese carrier Evergreen will drop weekly calls at the port of Singapore from its Round-the-World westbound service at the end of August to replace them by direct calls at Laem Chabang in Thailand.
   Calls to Laem Chabang will commence on Sept. 4 when the “Ever Dainty” arrives at the port.
   A spokesperson for Evergreen said that the change was made for operational reasons.
   The weekly RWW service deploys 10 ships with an average capacity of 4,054 TEUs. The revised port rotation for the service is New York; Norfolk; Charleston; Cristobal, Panama; Los Angeles; Tokyo; Osaka; Busan; Hakata; Kaohsiung; Hong Kong; Laem Chabang; Colombo; Rotterdam; Hamburg; Thamesport; Zeebrugge; Le Havre; New York; Norfolk; Charleston; Cristobal; and back to Los Angeles.
   Recently Lloyd Triestino, the Italian subsidiary of Evergreen, began a slot charter arrangement on the transpacific leg of the RWW service.
   Evergreen’s Round-the-World eastbound and its Asia/Europe “China Europe Mediterranean” services will continue to call at the port of Singapore.
