Taipei: Evergreen Line has announced plans to upgrade its China-South U.S. West Coast-China Service (CPS) and Asia-U.S. East Coast Service (AUE) with improved transit times on the route.
The Taiwan-based carrier said the CPS, calling Xingang, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Los Angeles, Oakland and Xingang, will now offer a transit time of 12 days from Shanghai to Los Angeles.
The first vessel in the revised schedule will be the 6,332-TEU Hatsu Envoy, expected to sail from Xingang on April 18.
The AUE Service, providing direct coverage between Asia and the U.S. East Coast, will offer a transit time of 24 days between Yantian and Savannah.
The existing AUE rotation is Taipei, Hong Kong, Yantian, Kaohsiung, Colon, Savannah, New York, Baltimore, Colon, and Taipei.
