Evergreen Marine was founded on September 1, 1968 by Dr. Yung-Fa Chang, the founder of Evergreen Group. At the beginning, it only operated as a 15-year- old general cargo ship, but with the business philosophy of "creating profits, caring for employees, and giving back to society", it has achieved great successes in marine shipping industry. Nowadays, Evergreen Marine has developed a service network covering five continents around the world, managing and operating more than 200 full-container vessels, and is in a leading position in terms of fleet size, container carrying capacity and shipbuilding philosophy.
