The latest ship to join the fleet of Ocean Network Express (ONE) lives up to its name. The ONE Innovation, on long-term charter from Shoei Kisen, is ONE’s first megamax, with another five slated to deliver soon.
, on long-term charter from Shoei Kisen, is ONE’s first megamax, with another five slated to deliver soon. What sets the ONE Innovation apart, however, as spotted by box shipping watchers at Alphaliner, is that unlike all other megamaxes delivered so far, this giant magenta-coloured flagship features 25 container bays, with the Japanese liner making the most of recently installed windshields.
All 24,000 teu class ships thus far have been 24 container bays long, and 24 bays wide. Designers at Nihon Shipyard in Japan managed to add a 25th container bay, which is 16 rows wide, onto the forecastle, atop the mooring deck of the ONE Innovation, giving it an extra slot capacity of 128 teu.
The ship’s extra bay is protected by a wraparound windscreen, a piece of technology that rival CMA CGM is also increasingly adopting.
Some expert level geekery there (and well received!)
Nothing new there,
Ok it’s not for me this coming door to door container band I’m sorry
My question is this What is the difference between a boxship and a containership / I worked six years on the sscv AMERICAN LIBERTY for the United States Lines Far East run and we called them containerships / Thanks /
