NYK takes slots on Evergreen's Adriatic feeder loops

NYK is boosting its presence in the Adriatic region by taking slots on two new feeder loops that Evergreen will commence in January 2011 under the names ADL1 and the ADL2.

Evergreen has created the ADL1 and ADL2 as part of a restructuring of its feeder services covering the Adriatic, Greece and the Middle East, reports Alphaliner.

It said the feeder loops, branded ADS1 and ADS2 by NYK, will enable the Japanese carrier to connect the Far East to the Adriatic ports of Trieste, Ravenna, Ancona, Koper, Venice and Rijeka via the Taranto hub, using its existing slot allocation on Evergreen's China-Europe (CES) service.

NYK has been purchasing slots on the CES service since February, the report added.
