Dr Chang believes that all shipowners have a duty to minimise the impact of their operations on the global environment: "We should not wait for legislation to be introduced. We should use the latest technology as soon as it is available so as to minimise the impact of container shipping operations both on marine life and on port communities."
"Although our market is price-driven and highly competitive with our customers all seeking to achieve the lowest shipping costs, we know that most of them are also very aware of the environmental issues.
We can assure them that Evergreen will provide first-class services whilst maintaining the highest environmental standards."
