In order to provide better services in the Mediterranean, effective from January 2011 Evergreen Line will divide its existing Adriatic Levant (ADL) service and Greek Turkey Service (GTS), creating four new separate routings. Additionally, the North Africa Feeder Service (NAF) will be upgraded to a weekly service.
The existing Adriatic Levant (ADL) services will become Adriatic-Levant Loop 1 (ADL1) and Adriatic-Levant Loop 2 (ADL2), while the existing Greek Turkey Service (GTS) will become Greek Feeder Service (GFS) & Turkey-Levant Service (TRL).
The new Adriatic-Levant Loop 1 (ADL1) will deploy two 1,200teu vessels with new direct calls at Ravenna and Beirut. The port rotation is:
Trieste-Ravenna-Ancona-Taranto-Alexandria-Beirut-Limassol-Taranto-Trieste
The new Adriatic-Levant Loop 2 (ADL2) will deploy two 1,200teu vessels with the following port rotation:
