Evergreen Line has started the operation of two containerships at Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea on 21 January 2014.
EVER LIVELY and EVER LENIENT are the two vessels that expand the company's L-type containerships series to 17. The capacity of the new vessels is 8,452TEU.
EVER LIVELY is owned by Evergreen Marine Singapore and EVER LENIENT is owned by Evergreen Marine UK.
The two ships are 334.8m in length, 45.8m wide, have 948 reefer plugs and a draft of 14.2m. Each can cruise at speeds up to 24.5 knots.
Scheduled for delivery in February, both the ships will operate on Evergreen Line's Far East-Middle East route.
Evergreen Group second vice group chairman Bronson Hsieh said: "We believe that the delivery of EVER LIVELY, EVER LENIENT and other new buildings to come will continue to improve the competitiveness of our operating fleet in the global shipping market."
