Ocean Network Express has taken delivery of the 14,052 TEU ONE Apus at the Kure Shipyard of Japan Marine United Corporation.

According to ONE, this is the second delivery of 2019 and the sixth of a series of seven newly built 14,000 TEU magenta container ships. The sublet owner is Nippon Yusen Kaisha.

ONE Apus employs a hull form with minimized engine-room space to improve cargo-loading efficiency. The main diesel engine is fitted with a dual-rating system to facilitate flexibility in operations and boost fuel efficiency to reduce greenhouse gases.

The vessel will be deployed on THE Alliance’s East Coast 4 service connecting Asia with the US East Coast, calling at the ports of Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Yantian, Cai Mep, Singapore, New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Charleston, New York, Singapore and Kaohsiung.
