On September 1, 1968, Dr. Chang Yung-fa, from the Taiwan port of Keelung, founded the Evergreen Group by beginning a shipping business with one secondhand, 20-year old cargo vessel named the Central Trust to provide "go-anywhere" service. Chang garnered the funds to launch his business through a loan from Japan's Marubeni trading house. He was intent on building up his business to a scheduled shipping service, and established the company's first liner service for the previously neglected Middle East trade route less than a year later.

Taiwan is protected by two layers of defense: the first line of defense consists of Space truck drivers whose viciousness is such that they often knock you over before you know. Also integral to Taiwan’s defense are professors who often engage each other in feet to feet combat utilizing techniques such as the Vulcan grip, coffee-in-ass , and the ever popular “kicking bird style” which involves kicking before a TV camera and spiting at pitches low enough to shatter steel and the eardrums of anyone faraway.

Taiwan weathered the 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis much better than most of its neighbours. This reflected its lower dependence on external borrowing, and the strength and flexibility of the economy. Small and medium sized companies still make up a significant proportion of the economy. They are able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.

While the Evergreen Group expanded, Evergreen Marine Corporation was renamed Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd., and renewed its global expansion effort. It was aided by its smaller sister company Uniglory, which was started in 1984 and was 50 percent owned by Evergreen in early 1995. The number of ships operated by Evergreen Marine declined between 1986 and 1993, but Evergreen's shipping capacity increased. Indeed, in 1993 Evergreen Marine launched its first ship with more than 4,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units--an indicator of carrying capacity). In 1994... Evergreen ordered 10 new giant ships; five with 4,229 TEU capacity and five with 4,900 TEU capacity. That brought the total number of ships operating in Evergreen Marine's fleet to 56 by 1995.
