The think tank's data shows that Evergreen has ordered at least 44 ships from Chinese yards since 2018. At CSSC Jiangnan shipyard, satellite imagery obtained by CSIS showed three boxships wearing Evergreen's livery, all next door to the PLA Navy's Type 003 aircraft carrier. "It should raise more than a few eyebrows in Taipei that Taiwan’s premier shipping company is pouring money into the coffers of shipyards assembling warships for the Chinese navy," suggested CSIS.
“We believe the civil commercial ship building activities have nothing to do with national naval projects,” Evergreen Marine said in a statement.
