Evergreen Group

The Evergreen Group (Chinese: 長榮集團; pinyin: Chang Rong Ji Tuan) is the organizational designation used by a Taiwan-based conglomerate of shipping, transportation, and associated service companies.

[1] Additional divisions and subsidiaries exist within several Evergreen Group companies, such as Uniglory Shipping Corporation and Uni Air.

In 2021, the Ever Given container ship was stranded for nearly a week in the Suez Canal and caused a major obstruction that interrupted international maritime trade.

[citation needed] The Evergreen International Hotels brand was involved in a political dispute during the Paris 2024 Olympics after an influencer posted a video showing one of the group's Paris hotels that displayed the flag of the Republic of China but not the flag of the People's Republic of China.

[7] EVA Air is the international airline of Evergreen Group, operating regular flights to over 40 destinations worldwide.

EVA Air features full passenger and dedicated cargo operations to North America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

The Evergreen Group has expanded beyond the shipping industry to encompass operations in energy development, air transport, hotels and resort services.

The country's first private international airline, EVA Airways Corporation, was established on March 8, 1989, and on July 1, 1991, formally inaugurated its first flight and began a new era of national commercial aviation.

In 1998, Evergreen purchased the Italian shipping line Lloyd Triestino renaming as Italia Marittima S.p.A. on 1 March 2006, thus providing it with a firm foothold in the European Union.

It consolidated this position in 2002 with the establishment of Hatsu Marine in London, a UK-flag shipping company that today operates some of the largest and most sophisticated vessels in the Evergreen Group fleet.
