    HONG KONG's Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), now a Cosco unit, has ordered seven methanol-compatible 24,000-TEU ships, according to an OOCL press release.

    Expected delivery starts in the third quarter of 2026. The green fuel technologies applied on these new vessels show a significant milestone in OOCL's decarbonisation journey, it said.

    Under the terms, the vessels will be built by Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co. The cost of each vessel will be US$239.85 million.

    "These vessels will help OOCL grow its fleet in a healthy and balanced manner, allowing us to enhance our network design and strengthen our long-haul routes, in line with our long-term development plan," said OOCL chief operating officer Kenny Ye.
