Evergreen extends Indian Ocean service

Three 2,500 teu vessels will operate the biweekly service with a port rotation from Karachi – Mundra – Colombo – Port Louis – Tamatave – Durban – Maputo – Nacala – Karachi.  Evergreen Line will provide two of the ships and UAFL the third.

The IMMA service offers a direct link between the Indian subcontinent and the emerging markets of Southeast Africa and its scope can be further extended with on-carriage services offered to neighbouring islands in Indian Ocean and inland destinations within the African continent.

The service is Evergreen’s latest bid to fulfill growing customer demand to develop new markets and follows the line’s recent service extensions into other parts of East Africa, as well as the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia, during the first quarter this year.
