More units for OOCL
Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), an affiliate of Cosco, has ordered ten vessels with a capacity of 16,000 teu each, a USD 1.5 billion investment. Delivery is expected from Q4/2024 till the end of 2025.
OOCL recently referred to the current mega trends in the shipping industry in a press release, saying that "demand in key importing economies has been considerably stronger than forecast, especially on transpacific routes."
The vessels will be built by Nantong and Dalian yards, both of which are already handling a 2020 order from OOCL for twelve newbuilds of 23,000 teu each. (cd)
