Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd. (OOCL) has introduced its newest mega containership, "OOCL Abu Dhabi".

The Hong Kong-headquartered ocean carrier said its fleet structure will be further optimized with the addition of the eighth eco-friendly 24,188 TEU vessel. 

"OOCL Abu Dhabi" is the fourth of six 24,188 TEU new buildings to be delivered to OOCL by Dalian COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. (DACKS).

Junguang Xiao, group legal advisor and director of OOCL, thanked DACKS for consistently building vessels of top quality for OOCL.

"With the continuous delivery of new vessels, more and more ships carrying the plum blossom logo of OOCL are sailing on the sea, marking the continued upgrading of the fleet structure of OOCL and the group," he said.

"Looking ahead, we will continue to bring better and greener integrated end-to-end logistics services to our customers. As always, we are also looking forward to working with all our customers and business partners to grow together and to create higher value through win-win cooperation," Xiao further said.

Han Lina, vice president of the supply chain management centre at Jiangsu Runergy New Energy Technology Co., Ltd, was invited to name and give her blessings to the vessel at a ceremony held at the DACKS shipyard today.
