EVERGREEN and Cosco has replaced its 3,400-TEU to 4,200-TEU ships to 8,000-TEU to 9,000 TEU on the Far East-ECSA service (ECSA) with the first vessel to join by early May. The larger of the vessels, the new 8,452-TEU Ever Liven, will be the first followed by the 8,501-TEU Cosco Vietnam which will move from the Far East-west coast South America rotation on charter to MSC as Alian-A Itapoa, with a further vessel of similar size vessel, the Cosco Indonesia.
