TAIWAN`s Evergreen Marine Corporation has increased its container handling capacity to 615,000 TEU after leasing 15 vessels in the second quarter of the year, making the carrier the fourth largest in the world, according to Alphaliner.

Yangming Marine Transport Corp. advanced one spot as the world`s 16th largest shipping line with handling capacity reaching 315,700 TEU. Wan Hai Lines Ltd slightly enhanced its cargo handling capacity by leasing a 900-TEU ship, but remains in 21 position.
