ONE orders ten New Panamax container ships

Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd (ONE) has ordered ten new container vessels with a carrying capacity of over 13,700 TEUs.

The new boxships will be delivered in 2025 and 2026.

The Singapore-headquartered ocean carrier said this new order is in line with the company’s medium-term strategy announced in March 2022 and follows the 10 vessels ordered in May.

ONE’s official commented, “By ensuring a stable deployment of new, state-of-the-art container vessels without constrained by short-term fluctuations in the container market, the company aims to strengthen its fleet competitiveness and meet customer demand for building and maintaining an efficient and reliable supply chain.”

The 10 new vessels will be ready for methanol and ammonia and equipped with a bow cover and other energy-saving technologies.

ONE has also started discussions with the shipyard and equipment manufacturers to implement onboard carbon capture and storage on delivery.
