Evergreen's acquisition of Lloyd Triestino has been approved by the Italian Government and the sale is expected to be finalized in September. Evergreen will retain the name of Lloyd Triestino. Lloyd Triestino was established in 1836 and is headquartered in the port city of Trieste.

Including those operated in asso- ciation with Evergreen, Lloyd Triestino markets eight container services. Its own vessel fleet con- tains seven ships, ranging from 1,555 to 2,987 TEU and with an average age of eight years. Evergreen has signed a 60-year concession agreement with Taranto Port Authority and will construct a two million TEU capac- ity common-user container facility.
