Soon after giving its employees a bumper 50-month bonus, Taiwan’s Evergreen Marine Corp. is handing out another hefty reward as it reaps the gains of a now-fading shipping boom.

The shipping giant’s 3,100 or so employees, received a total NT$1.92 billion ($62.8 million) in the latest payout, taken from the record profit the firm earned in the last financial year, according to annual results announced this week.
