Evergreen Line is defending its dealings with Bangladeshi shipbreaker Kabir Steel after a worker death last week.
On 24 July, a cutter identified as Shahidul fell from a "great height" and died at Kabir's yard in Chittagong while taking apart the 5364-teu Ever Union (built 1997), formerly owned by Evergreen.
Tuesday, the Taiwanese liner operator said it "wishes to express sympathy for this loss of life".
