Anticipating further positive development in the Intra-Asia market, Evergreen Line is set to launch a new ocean route from Northern China to Jakarta. 
The Hua-Bei-Indonesia (HBI) service is aimed at providing prompt and convenient service through this growing economic region. Indonesia has a population of more than 200 million people and is the largest consuming market in South East Asia. 
"The rich and abundant natural resources make Indonesia a major worldwide supplier of raw materials," said a company spokesperson, adding: "During the past five years, the economic growth rate reached an average of between 5% and 6%. Even during the global economic crisis in 2009, this trade still enjoyed impressive growth of 4.5%." 
Evergreen Line is confident that its new weekly HBI service will achieve greater speed and efficiency for customers, enabling them to maximise their business in this emerging Asian market. Three container ships of 1700-TEU and one of 2000-TEU vessel will be deployed in the service with the following port rotation: 
Xingang - Dalian - Qingdao - Hong Kong - Shekou - Jakarta - Hong Kong - Kaohsiung - Shanghai - Xingang.
