June-10-2008

Evergreen Line is to launch its new regional service to serve main central Adriatic and Balkan ports in June 2008. The Adriatic Feeder Service (AFS) will significantly improve the existing Intra Mediterranean feeder network hubbing in Taranto, Italy.

The first sailing is scheduled to depart from Taranto on June 13, 2008 and will be performed by the 974TEU vessel Iris Bolten. Ports of call on the seven day rotation are as follows:

Taranto - Ancona - Ploce - Bar - Taranto

Durres (Albania) will be served upon inducement. The company's spokesman says: "The Adriatic Feeder Service will provide customers with greater capacity, more port coverage in the Mediterranean and a more flexible service in the central Adriatic and Balkan markets".
