The 2020-built, 2,000 TEU container ship Ever Core was the first vessel deployed on a new joint service by Taiwan’s ocean carriers Evergreen and Wan Hai, which called at the Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) operation in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.
ICTSI believes the new bi-monthly service enhances MCT’s connectivity with key international markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan through the ports of Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Shekou, Subic, and Cebu.
Ever Core operates the service alternate with Wan Hai Lines’ Mindanao – Hong Kong – Taiwan (MHT) service, which is designed to meet the timely export needs of coconut by-products.
“This new partnership with Evergreen and Wan Hai further demonstrates our commitment to providing enhanced connectivity to Mindanao’s exporters and importers. As we continue to grow and expand our network, we’re confident that this new service will bring greater value to the region’s agricultural sector and foster economic growth,” stated Aurelio Garcia, MCT’s chief executive officer.
By increasing capacity and introducing new container line services, MSC said it commits to supporting the region’s growth and providing timely, efficient trade solutions for customers.
