Evergreen Group Chairman Dr. Yung-fa Chang believes all shipowners have a duty to minimize the impact of their operations on the global environment, so it is no surprise that Evergreen received the first ever Los Angeles/Long Beach award for Environmental Excellence.  Evergreen is using new technology in their shipbuilding to meet or surpass the strictest global environmental standards to help protect the environment for future generations.  The technology Evergreen is incorporating in vessel upgrades and new shipbuilding design includes:

• Low NOx technology in main engines and generators
• Electric-powered vessel equipment
• Low sulfur fuel-burning capability
• Outfitted for shore side electrical plug-in, for ships which will often call on ports with electrified berths
