LONDON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Taiwanese container shipping
line Evergreen said on Monday that it has decided to temporarily
stop accepting Israeli cargo with immediate effect and
instructed its container ships to suspend navigation through the
Red Sea until further notice. 
    Evergreen added that ships on regional services to Red Sea
ports will sail to safe waters nearby and wait for further
notification, while container ships which are scheduled to pass
through the Red Sea will be rerouted around the Cape of Good
Hope to continue their voyages to destination ports.
