According to Evergreen, the move was designed to more effectively integrate its services to and from the north of England and Ireland with its global network. Evergreen will run its own independent service on a weekly shuttle basis between Rotterdam and Dublin, and will also commence a slot exchange arrangement with common carrier X-PRESS feeders on its weekly Dublin service from Rotterdam. As part of the same slot exchange, Evergreen will also take space on the X-PRESS weekly service to Liverpool, while connecting to deep-sea linehaul service via the line’s Rotterdam hub. Overall transit times to and from both ports will be enhanced, with an increased ability to coordinate the transshipment of cargo at Rotterdam, Evergreen said.
