The shipping company Evergreen Line has brought back its weekly UAM transpacific and Asia-Mediterranean pendulum service barely two months after it was split in two.
The reconstituted UAM, suspended in October, once again links the PNW with Asia, Colombo and the Mediterranean, starting with the Dec. 5 sailing of Ever Uranus from Kaohsiung.
UAM was briefly split into two separate services, the FEM and PNW. The returned UAM service operates in 98-day roundtrips with 14 vessels averaging 5,557 TEUs. The service rotation is Tacoma, Vancouver, Tokyo, Osaka, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Shekou, Yantian, Tanjung Pelepas, Colombo, Ashdod, Alexandria, Taranto, Genoa, Barcelona, Valencia, Taranto, Colombo, Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Yantian, Shanghai, Ningbo and Tacoma.
The previous FEM service, which covered the Asia-Colombo-Mediterranean portion of UAM, ended Nov. 28 with the Qingdao sailing of Ever Unific. It operated 70 days round with nine vessels averaging 5,492 TEUs. All of the vessels that were deployed on the FEM service are now on the UAM.
The previous PNW service, which covered the Asia-PNW portion of UAM, ended with its last sailing from Tokyo on Nov. 26. It sailed 35 days round with five vessels averaging 4,965 TEUs. None of these vessels now operates in the UAM.
