Ocean Network Express (ONE), a new entity from three Japanese liner companies ‘K’ Line, MOL and NYK, adds the first 24,000-teu class Megamax container vessel to its fleet portfolio.
The 24,136 teu class Megamax container ship “One Innovation” is the first Megamax container vessel to join ONE’s fleet, and was delivered at Kure Shipyard of Japan Marine United Corporation on 2 June 2023.
The vessel is fitted with a bow windshield, an energy saving device, and an exhaust gas cleaning system to meet the emission regulations of IMO. She is also the first of the six new Megamax vessels to joining ONE’s core fleet.
The container ship will be deployed on the Asia to Europe (FE3) service, under THE Alliance (THEA), and the company expects to lower its carbon emissions with the ship´s hull design that maximises cargo intake and minimises fuel consumption, as ONE reports today.
After the addition of “One Innovation” ship to its fleet portfolio the company expects other five new sister Megamax vessels.
Said Yu Kurimoto, Managing Director of ONE, during the commemorative party said “ONE Innovation is the largest vessel in our fleet, and we are proud to have it as our flagship. This newly built vessel will help us pave the way for the sustainable development of global logistics and respond to customer requests with the world’s No. 1 quality of service.”
Kurimoto added that the newly built vessel will help ONE pave the way for the sustainable development of global logistics and respond to customer requests.
In 2022, ONE announced its ‘Green Vision’, which aims to achieve net-zero by 2050.
“We are actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our fleet, and we are confident that this vessel will contribute to this effort and bring innovation to global logistics,” said Kurimoto.
