Recently, Ocean Network Express (ONE) announced a major milestone with the official naming of its sixth methanol/ammonia-ready container vessel, the “ONE Singapore.”

The naming ceremony was grandly held at the Hiroshima Shipyard of Imabari Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. in Japan, marking another important step in ONE’s fleet expansion strategy and further solidifying its presence in the global shipping market.

This 13,900 TEU “green giant” is fully prepared to operate on methanol/ammonia fuel, once again underscoring ONE’s strong commitment to sustainable shipping practices. Following the successful deployment of its first newbuild vessel “ONE Sparkle” and its sister ships, the addition of “ONE Singapore” will further enhance ONE’s service capabilities on the Asia–Latin America trade lane, injecting new momentum into this vital route.

Jeremy Nixon, CEO of ONE, commented: “The delivery of ‘ONE Singapore’ is a powerful testament to our ongoing fleet expansion strategy. Named after our global headquarters, the vessel symbolizes ONE’s close connection with Singapore’s dynamic maritime ecosystem. With this ship now entering service on the Latin America route, we reaffirm our strong commitment to Singapore as a global maritime hub.”

Since establishing its global headquarters in Singapore in 2017, ONE has become a key player in the local maritime sector. Acting as the central command for its worldwide network operations, the Singapore HQ plays a crucial role in supporting ONE’s global strategy.

The addition of “ONE Singapore” is yet another important move in ONE’s strategy to build a sustainable and efficient fleet. The vessel is classed by Lloyd’s Register (LR) and sails under the Singaporean flag, reflecting not only its high standards and compliance, but also the strong and enduring partnership between ONE and Singapore.
