Evergreen, COSCO to start Far East/Red Sea service
Taiwan-based Evergreen Line and China’s COSCO Container Lines will in mid-May start a weekly Straits-Red Sea Shuttle (SRS) service “in response to greater demand for capacity between the Red Sea and Asia.”
Each carrier will deploy two ships of about 1,200 TEUs to the SRS, which will have a port rotation of Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas, Jeddah, Port Sudan, Hodeidah and back to Singapore.
The new service will compliment the carrier’s existing weekly Far East-Red Sea (FRS) service.
