Recognizing a commercially successful future as a result of the free trade
agreement (FTA) between China and ASEAN (Association of South East Asian
Nations), Evergreen Line and Wan Hai Lines will launch the Hwa-Bei Strait (HBS)
Service starting early July. The two carriers are also optimistic about
ASEAN-Plus-One FTAs' future potential and the HBS service will benefit the
development of the regional economy. <BR> <BR>Mr. Bronson Hsieh, Vice Group
Chairman of Evergreen Group and Chairman of Evergreen Marine Corporation said:
"The impact of ASEAN-Plus-One FTAs has been integrating gradually. With the two
parties signing the agreement January 1, 2010, ASEAN replaced Japan to become
China's third largest trading partner immediately. <BR> <BR>"Apparently,
the two-way trading volume has grown tremendously and has proven that the
regional economy era is ahead," Mr. Hsieh added. "China and ASEAN, especially,
will have complementary impacts in economic scale, population structure,
consuming power, natural resources and other factors that will see quickly
increasing cargo volume."<BR> <BR>The waiving of customs tariff as a result
of the ASEAN-Plus-One FTAs has also been effective since January 1. This will
help the interchange of economy and trade and increase cargo volume. Evergreen
Line and Wan Hai Lines will each deploy two vessels of 2,100-TEU capacity with
calling ports at Dalian - Tianjin - Qingdao - Hong Kong - Shekou - Jakarta -
Port Klang - Singapore - Tanjung Pelepas - Hong Kong - Shanghai - Dalian. The
transit time will be 28 days per trip and the first voyage will be from Dalian
by Wan Hai's NORTHERN VICTORY S220 and Evergreen Line will dispatch its vessel
CONTI BRISBANE S001 from Dalian on July 17. <BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
