Evergreen says the weekly service will utilize six ships of between 3,500 and 3,700 TEU capacity, one each provided by Evergreen, MOL, K-LINE, YML and the remaining two by OOCL. The first sailing is planned to depart from Yokohama on October 23, with the following port rotation: Yokohama - Osaka - Pusan - Qingdao - Shanghai - Ningbo - Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane, then returning to Yokohama.
The launch of this new loop will enable Evergreen to provide more service options for its customers in Asia-Australia trade, the shipper says, by extending its network coverage to Japan, Korea and Northern China.
