Evergreen’s decision strengthens HAROPA’s rank on the Asian market by placing it as the first port of call in Northern Europe. The CES service will call at the Terminal de France (Port 2000) every Tuesday evening and will be operated by 10 vessels of a capacity from 7,000 to 8,500 TEU. It respectively calls in at the ports of Kaohsiung – Ningbo – Shanghai – Taipei – Hong Kong – Shekou – Tanjung Pelepas – Piraeus- Algeciras – Le Havre.
It is important to state that CES is the first service to provide direct calls with Taiwan (Taipei and Kaohsiung). In addition, the CES service offers service to the Mediterranean market, owing to the call at Piraeus.
« We are particularly concerned by the environmental conditions of transport of the goods entrusted to us. This both involves the vessels that we build and inland transport. The waterway network of HAROPA complex gives the right answer to our expectations and to that of our customers » Martine TOULOT- President Evergreen France- declared.
For Hervé Cornède, HAROPA Commercial and Marketing Director, « The joint work carried out with the Générale de Manutention Portuaire company which operates the Terminal de France, as well as the reliability, high quality of the port of Le Havre and the opportunities offered by HAROPA along the river Seine artery are as many assets that were of interest to Evergreen. »
