EVERGREEN Group has signed an agreement with CSBC Corporation in Taiwan for ten 2,800-TEU class B-type vessels.
Delivery of the first ship is scheduled for the second half of 2017, with the remaining ships to be delivered by the first half of 2018, and all of the containerships will be deployed on the intra-Asia trades.
The group's second vice chairman Bronson Hsieh said in a company release: "After the negotiations of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) are concluded, the ASEAN countries, Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand are expected to remove trade barriers, enhancing bilateral trades and thereby boosting regional cargo growth.
"Our decision to invest in these newbuildings is aimed at providing for the growth potential brought about by this free trade development."
