Did you know that shipping plays an important role in our daily lives because many domestic goods are transported by cargo ships? Cargo ships are classified by the goods they carry as: bulk carriers, general cargo ships, container ships and tankers.

In 1968, Evergreen started operations with one used general cargo ship, Central Trust. The vessel was 15 years old, had a deadweight of 10095 tons, and sailed between the US and the Far East region, providing a tramp service.
