The container liner giant Ocean Network Express (ONE) inked a deal to buy a minority stake in Dalian Container Terminal (DCT) in Dalian, China.

Located in the largest foreign container trade hub in Northeast China, the terminal has an annual capacity of 6.6 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units).

The facility features 14 container berths with a total quay length of 4,390 meters and is equipped with modern equipment and deep drafts to accommodate large container vessels.

Hiroki Tsujii, global chief officer of ONE’s product and network division, said: “This acquisition of a minority stake aligns with our strategy of ensuring access at key regional ports. The ownership stake allows us to collaborate with DCT and contribute to its continued infrastructure development and green terminal initiatives, further supporting Dalian’s role as a key gateway for international trade in Northeast China.”

Singapore-headquartered Ocean Network Express (ONE) operates a fleet of over 260 vessels with a capacity exceeding 2 million TEUs.
