Italian carrier Lloyd Triestino di Navigazione SpA and the French line CMA CGM have agreed on a joint cooperative agreement in the transpacific trade. This agreement, which is still subject to approval by the relevant governmental authorities, will consist of an exchange of slots between the TPX service of CMA CGM and the CPN/CPS loops of the China-West Coast North America service of LT. It will also enable both carriers to upgrade services for customers without adding to the capacity already offered on transpacific trades.

In an effort to protect Puget Sound air quality, the Evergreen Group has announced that all diesel-powered equipment at the Port of Tacoma's Pierce County Terminal is required to use ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. Evergreen's announcement came just months after the Port of Tacoma Commission directed that all diesel equipment at Port-operated facilities should use ULSD fuel. While the decision increases the operational costs for Evergreen, use of the more expensive fuel has tangible benefits for the environment and the community. This "greening of Evergreen" has been mandated by the career-long philosophy of Evergreen Group Chairman Dr. Y F Chang, who believes all shipowners have a responsibility to minimize the impact of their operations on the global environment - at any cost.
