Evergreen Line has marked its 50th anniversary with a massive order of refrigerated containers from Carrier Transicold.
The move is yet another sign of the Taiwanese ocean carrier’s confidence in its trade routes to South-East Asia and the Pacific.
Having recently opened a new office in Cambodia, it teamed up with Hyandai Merchant Marine last month to provide a new weekly Central and South China – Australia Express service, which is due to begin in mid-August.
It has also boosted its Asia – East Africa service by adding one more vessel to meet heightened demand in both regions.
Evergreen’s order of 3,000 containers was based on refrigeration performance and power efficiency as part of its strategy to lead the industry in building environmentally-friendly supply chains.

“Evergreen’s PrimeLINE units feature our LED control-display option, which the shipping line considers advantageous for ship crews visually monitoring stacked containers on-board a vessel.”
