Ocean Network Express strengthens global capacity as latest newbuilding, ONE Singapore, joins fleet

Jun 18, 2025

Ocean Network Express (“ONE”) announced today the naming of ONE Singapore, the sixth vessel in a series of 20 ammonia/methanol ready container vessels. The naming ceremony took place at the Hiroshima Shipyard of Imabari Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. in Japan, marking another milestone in ONE's fleet expansion program.

The 13,900 TEU vessel, which is methanol and ammonia-ready, is another demonstration of ONE's commitment to sustainable shipping practices. Following the successful integration of ONE Sparkle - ONE’s first owned newbuilding - and subsequent sister vessels, ONE Singapore will strengthen the company's service offerings on the trade lanes where she will be deployed.

Says Jeremy Nixon, CEO, "Today's naming of ONE Singapore signifies further progress in our fleet expansion strategy. This vessel, carrying the name of our global headquarters city, symbolizes our strong connection to Singapore's vibrant maritime ecosystem. As we deploy this vessel into service, we continue to build upon ONE’s strong commitment to Singapore, in its prime position as the leading global international maritime centre."

Since establishing its global headquarters in Singapore in 2017, ONE has become an integral part of Singapore's maritime community. The company's headquarters serves as the command center for its global network operations.

ONE Singapore represents the continued execution of ONE's strategy to build a more sustainable and efficient fleet. She is classed LR and Singapore-flagged.
