Evergreen to join U.S. East Coast/Brazil loop
Taiwanese ocean carrier Evergreen Marine in August will join the weekly U.S. East Coast/Brazil service of CKYH Alliance members “K” Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin Shipping.
Hanjin markets the service as NSA while “K” Line refers to it as SAMCO. Yang Ming, who entered the trade and became a vessel provider on the service in June, calls it ESA. Evergreen will join the service — which it will market as ECAS — when the 1,728-TEU vessel “YM Santos” departs New York Aug. 12.
The service uses five ships of about 1,500 TEUs and has a port rotation of: New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Rio Grande, Itajai, Santos, and back to New York.
Evergreen also takes slots from Hamburg Sud in the U.S. East Coast/East Coast South America trade.
