Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd (OOCL) has recently introduced another new 24,188 TEU mega vessel. 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.

She is the seventh eco-friendly 24,188TEU vessel in a series of 12 ordered by OOCL and also the first OOCL new vessel in 2024 that will serve OOCL’s Asia-Europe LL1 service.

Ms Ying Xiuzhen, Director and Vice President of China-Base Ningbo Group Co, Ltd, named the vessel OOCL Valencia and gave her blessings. Ms Yu Tao, Director and Member of Executive Committee of OOCL, said at the ceremony:

“Last year, OOCL received a total of six new container vessels and thus rapidly optimised the fleet structure of both OOCL and the group. In the new year, in addition to OOCL Valencia, more high-quality and high-performance ships will sail from here.”
