Taiwanese shipping line Evergreen is joining the CKYH alliance, in which Cosco, K Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin are members. The alliance will be operational on the container trades between Asia and Europe, including the Mediterranean region and it will be called the CKYHE Alliance.

The lines intend to formally begin the new alliance as of this month, subject to compliance with the relevant regulations. The CKYHE alliance will commence operations in mid-April with six joint services operating between Asia and Northern Europe and four loops dedicated to the Asia-Mediterranean route.

The members of CKYHE have agreed to continuously review services on the Asia-Northern Europe and Asia-Mediterranean trades in order to optimise their efficiency and to enhance their service quality in terms of network coverage.

The lines’ customers will benefit from a better quality of service in terms of transit times and frequency.

Through its local representative MBL Shipping Agency, Evergreen Line offers several import and export connections to shippers in Malta, including direct services to and from the Adriatic and other Mediterranean ports, connections with North Europe, the UK, Middle East and the Far East amongst others. All types of cargo are accepted subject to the acceptance of the line.
