HO Scale

 

 

 

Ocean Network Express (ONE), is a Japanese container shipping company that is headquartered in Tokyo and Singapore. It was formed in 2016 as a joint venture of the Japanese shipping companies Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, and K Line, inheriting the container shipping operations of its parent companies. As of 2017, it had a combined fleet size of 1.4 million TEU.

 

ONE Containers

History

ONE was formed in 2016 as a joint venture between Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), and K Line. It was formed as part of a larger process of consolidation that was occurring in the container shipping industry at that time, affected by poor profits and surplus capacity. It merged the container shipping divisions of the three companies, forming the sixth-largest container shipping company in the world at that time. NYK controls a 38% stake of the joint venture, while MOL and K Line own 31% each.

The company began trading in April 2018, with a holding company office in Tokyo, global headquarters in Singapore and regional headquarters in London (Canary Wharf), Richmond, Hong Kong, and Sao Paulo, and further local offices in 90 countries, with corporate and sales activities already started in October 2017.

In August 2018, ONE ordered more than 14,000 reefer containers.

In December 2018, ONE and PSA International signed an agreement to form a joint venture at Pasir Panjang Terminal in Singapore to conduct container operations in the terminal, starting in the first half of 2019.

ONE container

ONE decided to paint all its new launched ships and container equipment in a recognisable and eye-catching magenta color. The magenta shade idea was inspired by the cherry blossoms common in Japan, where the three parent companies are located.

The Alliance

Along with Hapag Lloyd, Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation and Hyundai Merchant Marine, ONE is a member of THE Alliance.


The Alliance is intended to provide 34 services directly calling at 81 different ports.

Fleet

At establishment, the fleet counted 240 container vessels, including 31 container ships with a capacity of 20,000 TEU or higher. As a result of the merger, it also inherited container ship orders from its predecessors, with one ultra-large 20,000 TEU vessel and twelve 14,000 TEU vessels due to be delivered.


A tonnage review shall happen within 18 months from the operations beginning, in order to be competitive on all services by using the most recent, technological and environment friendly ships available to be built.

Facts

On 2 April 2018, mv ONE Minato (ordered by K Line, and originally named mv Minato Bridge) was launched from Imabari Shipbuilding as trial. The vessel has a capacity of 14,000TEU, and has been painted in magenta.

On 15 May 2018, the first magenta painted vessel delivered and added into the fleet, mv ONE Commitment (formerly known as mv MOL Commitment, built in 2013), started her maiden voyage at Singapore and reached Yantian International Container Terminals in China. Sailing under Japanese flag, the vessel operates on THE Alliance PN2 service calling China, Japan, US and Canada with a total capacity of 8,560 TEU.

On 12 June 2018, the newly built mv ONE Stork was delivered and launched from Hiroshima, Kure Shipyard in Japan. This vessel was originally intended as mv NYK Stork, as part of the 8 NYK-bird class sister ships, ordered and owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha, and chartered to ONE. The ship has a capacity of 14,000 TEUs and is magenta painted. The first deployment was instructed towards North America East Coast, after calling several loading ports in China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

On 7 July 2018, mv ONE Competence made fast at the Port of Oakland. The vessel was built in 2008 as mv MOL Competence, to carry over 8000 TEUs. She has recently been repainted in magenta, following the intended plan to rebrand over 240 vessels in the fleet.

 


 

The official launch of Ocean Network Express (ONE) is a fact! ONE is the result of an integration of the container operations of the three Japanese shipping companies Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” Line), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd (MOL) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK).

Thanks to this collaboration, ONE allows their customers to benefit from the combined 1,440,000 TEU fleet.

One Ship

 

Supported by the global organization, ONE offers 85 different liner services that together connect over 200 of the world’s most important ports. The start of the container transport activities is in line with the original schedule that was drawn up when the company was founded on 7 July 2017.

ONE will soon add a new ship to the fleet: the Minato, with a capacity of 13,870 teu.


 


 


Containers are the work horse of the domestic and international long haul cargo business. Operated by any number of owners, containers carry virtually every product imaginable. Ranging in size from 20 feet to 53 feet, they can meet any shipping need. These foot containers are seen being pulled by trucks or carried on trains across North America, and on ships internationally. Add some of these containers for variety and color in your intermodal operations.
