Evergreen to offer transpacific Ningbo-LA loop May 21

EVERGREEN Line will launch a transpacific service, the CPS2, that will link ports of Qingdao, Shanghai and Ningbo to Oakland and Los Angeles.

The CPS2 is intended to complement the CPS service, which is ensured through slots on the CSCL's AAC service, an Alphaliner report said.

The new service will deploy five 4,200-TEU vessels, but initially only three will be used with some weekly gaps in the first two months. The first sailing departs Qingdao on May 21.

The port rotation for the CPS2 is: Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Oakland, Los Angeles and back to Qingdao.

The AAC service deploys five 8,500-TEU ships that make port of calls at Qingdao, Lianyungang, Shanghai, Ningbo, Busan, Los Angeles, Oakland, returning to Qingdao.
