Evergreen to launch West Coast of Central America Service with X-Press

Evergreen Line together with X-Press will launch a new service linking major ports on the West Coast of Central America in mid-December 2012.

The new West Coast of Central America (WCA) service will connect to Evergreen Line’s Asia - South America West Coast (WCA) service via Manzanillo, Mexico, offering a more comprehensive service network between Far East and Central America.

Two vessels of approximately 900 TEU will be deployed in the joint service, in which Evergreen Line will deploy the 966 TEU Georgia while the other ship of similar capacity will be operated by X-Press. The first sailing is planned from Manzanillo on 19 December 2012. The port rotation for the 14-day voyage is as follows:

Manzanillo (Mexico) - Puerto Quetzal (Guatemala) - Acajutla (El Salvador) - San Lorenzo (Honduras) - Corinto (Nicaragua) - Caldera (Costa Rica) - Manzanillo (Mexico).
