OOCL's next behemoth takes to the water
The joint venture between Cosco Shipping and Kawasaki Shipbuilding, Dalian Cosco KHI Ship Engineering in China has completed the new 24,000 tea container unit built for Hong Kong-headquartered carrier OOCL.
The most recent ultra-large vessel has a total length of 399.99 m, a width of 61.3 m, a depth of 33.2 m, and a nominal container capacity of even more than 24,000 teu. It has been classed by the classification society American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
After entering into operation, the unit will serve the Asia-Europe route. A OOCL sister vessel was launched already in November 2022. (sh)
