At a christening ceremony held on Changxing Island in Shanghai , OOCL celebrated the naming of the latest 8,888 TEU containership that will be joining the company’s fleet this year.
In his ceremonial remarks, Mr. Alan Tung, Acting Chief Financial Officer of Orient Overseas (Internatio
nal) Limited, expressed the importance of the newbuilding projects at the Hudong-Zhonghua shipyard in recent years and his gratitude to all those who made OOCL Genoa and her sister ships possible.
“In today’s extremely competitive environment, cost and operational efficiency is paramount to our performance and these magnificent vessels, like that of OOCL Genoa which we are about to unveil, plays a very important part to our success,” said Mr. Tung. “OOCL Genoa, together with the other seven sister vessels being built here at Hudong, will form part of our core fleet and play an important role in allowing OOCL to maintain its competitive edge in the market.”
“OOCL continues to be an industry leader in terms of operational excellence and financial robustness. Our company is well placed for the future in its ability to deliver superior performance, upgrade its assets, and provide the best possible service quality at the most cost efficient way possible. OOCL is committed in its drive to deliver industry-leading operating margins. In addition, we are deliberate in our efforts to balance the need for a strong and liquid balance sheet, necessary in a capital intensive business, with an industry-competitive shareholder return.””
The OOCL Genoa will be serving the Trans-Pacific trade lane on the South China 2 service where her port rotation is:
Da Chan Bay / Hong Kong / Yantian / Kaohsiung / Long Beach / Kaohsiung / Xiamen / Hong Kong / and Da Chan Bay in 42-day round trip.
