Evergreen and CSCL link for China - SE Asia service

Taipei: The slew of new intra-Asia services seen in 2010 continues. Evergreen Line and China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) will launch a new joint service, the China-Philippines-Thailand Express Service (CPT) effective mid-March.

The new CPT service, which is expected to commence from Shanghai, will operate with three 2,500 teu vessels. Evergreen will deploy one vessel and two vessels will come from CSCL.

The port rotation is as follows:

Shanghai–Ningbo–Manila North Harbor–Manila South Harbor–Laem Chabang–Hong Kong–Shanghai

With China and the ASEAN countries forming a huge new trading bloc this year container lines have unveiled more intra-Asia services than has been seen for many years.
