The 8,508-TEU Ever Loading, the sixth in a series of L-type vessels built by Taiwan's CSBC Corporation in Taiwan, has been named at the Kaohsiung shipyard.
Evergreen vice group chairman Bronson Hsieh said the vessel's name symbolises the carrier's target for continued business success, pointing out that these ships are very flexible in fleet deployment.
As part of the shipping line's fleet renewal programme, such vessels have been deployed across the carrier's service network, including trade routes from Asia to Europe, the Middle East and US west coast.
In its latest development, the company said one of its sister ships launched a new Asia-US east coast service via Suez Canal.
The group commenced its fleet renewal programme in 2010 that includes a total of 30 L-type vessels. With the delivery of the Ever Loading, the company has added the 26th such vessel to its operating fleet.
The remaining four newbuildings will be delivered by the third quarter of 2015, according to Shipping Gazette.
