Evergreen has launched its Korea-Taiwan-Philippines service and made its inaugural call at Subic Bay’s New Container Terminals 1 and 2.

“It is our pleasure to have this new service in Subic due to market demand and requests from our current clients in Philippines,” said Paul Huang, executive vice president of Evergreen. “We have no doubt that Evergreen can provide the best service to our customers with our good partner, SBITC terminal in Subic Bay.”

ICTSI subsidiaries Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. and ICTSI Subic, Inc. handled approximately 400 TEUs from the 1,440 TEU Cape Fulmar.

“We are glad that Evergreen has chosen Subic as a key port of call for the KTP service,” said Roberto Locsin. “This is a welcome development as trade between Taiwan, Korea and the Philippines has been growing in recent years. We thank Evergreen for the trust and confidence they have for Subic and ICTSI.”

The 1,440 TEU Cape Faro also operates the weekly KTP service, according to ICTSI.
