EVERGREEN Group has established its own liner agency company, Evergreen Shipping Spain (ESS), in Valencia, Spain, with another branch in Barcelona.
ESS's sub-agents will operate in Portugal, Algeria, Tunisia and other cities in Spain, such as Madrid. The new agency of the Taiwan-based shipping company will ensure that customers have sufficient service to meet their requirements, said a company statement.
ESS will represent the interests of Evergreen Marine Corp., Hatsu Marine Ltd., and Italia Marittima and is a joint venture between the Evergreen Group and the Green Iberica.
Albert Ko will be the president of the new joint venture.
Arnold Wang, president of Evergreen Marine Corporation, expressed his thanks to the Romeu Group, of which Green Iberica is a member, for its excellent performance as Evergreen's agent for nearly 30 years.
Said Mr Wang: "Evergreen first entered the Far East-Mediterranean trade in 1977 and selected Romeu & Cia as its agent. We are delighted to report that the Romeu family will continue their relationship with Evergreen and that the current staff in Green Iberica in Barcelona and Valencia will be transferring to ESS."
