In preparation for the coming peak season on Trans-Pacific trade, Evergreen Line is announcing major service enhancements. Next month it will launch a new weekly direct service linking central China with the US West Coast. In addition the line intends to further strengthen its Trans-Pacific service network via slot exchange arrangements with strategic partners
