Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd. (OOCL) has introduced another new 24,000 TEU mega vessel.

It said in a statement that the newest member in OOCL's fleet was named "OOCL Valencia" in the ceremony held at Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. (NACKS) shipyard.

"OOCL Valencia" is the seventh eco-friendly 24,188 TEU vessel in a series of twelve ordered by OOCL and also the first OOCL new vessel in 2024 that will serve OOCL's Asia-Europe LL1 service.

Yu Tao, director and member of the executive committee of OOCL, said at the ceremony that last year, OOCL received a total of six new container vessels and thus rapidly optimized the fleet structure of both OOCL and the group.

"In the new year, in addition to the OOCL Valencia, more high-quality and high-performance ships will sail from here," she added. "OOCL and NACKS will continue to work for win-win cooperation, grow together, and strive to create value for customers and society."

Yu Tao further said that OOCL will continue to serve as the vital link to global trade, actively respond to future challenges, and strive to provide shippers with better and greener end-to-end integrated logistics and supply chain solutions.
