Evergreen Marine Group (長榮海運) will soon inaugurate a newly built dock near China's Qingdao Port, a Chinese-language newspaper reported yesterday.
US$300 million
The US$300 million investment -- launched two years ago -- is aimed at providing logistic support to Evergreen vessels sailing between China, South Korea and Japan, the Commercial Times quoted Qingdao Port officials as saying.
The report said the dock's unloading and other facilities will be inaugurated soon but did not provide a date.
The investment was made through Hong Kong's Pan Asia Co (泛亞公司), the report said.
Evergreen, with a fleet of about 100 container vessels, is the nation's largest shipping company.
Company spokesman Nieh Kuo-wei (聶國維) told the Taipei Times yesterday that he was not aware of the investment and refused to comment further.
