On the 30th, ORIENT OVERSEAS CONTAINER LINE LTD. ("OOCL") held a naming ceremony for a brand new 24188TEU cargo ship at the Dalian COSCO Shipping Kawasaki Shipyard. The new ship was officially named "OOCL Piraeus". This new giant container ship is the first of six ships of the same model built by Dalian COSCO Shipping Kawasaki for Dongfang Overseas to be delivered.

In 2020, OOCL ordered a series of twelve 24000TEU cargo ships. Following the delivery of the "Eastern Spain" earlier this year, the "Eastern Piraeus" is the second ship in the same series to be delivered. This series of cargo ships integrates the latest developed technology, equipped with advanced intelligent systems and upgraded environmental design, including low resistance profile design and energy-saving bulbous bow. This green intelligent series of giant cargo ships brings advantages to Dongfang Overseas in terms of economies of scale, improved energy efficiency, and long-term safety and airworthiness.

In the presence of many guests, partners and customers, Ms. Fang Xueyu, Executive Vice President of Qingdao Hisense International marketing Co., Ltd., named the ship.

At the naming ceremony, Mr. Feng Guohua, Director of the Trade Department of OOCL, said, "I would like to express my special gratitude to the builder - Dalian COSCO Shipping Kawasaki. The super large ship" OOCL Piraeus "fully demonstrates their exquisite design, practical ability, and craftsmanship. This batch of container ships is an empirical demonstration of the green shipping concept, which will enableOOCL to provide better quality services while reducing the environmental impact of each container loaded. This is also an example of OOCL  achieving mutual benefit and win-win cooperation with customers and all other stakeholders.

The "Oriental Piraeus" will officially be put into operation on the Oriental Overseas Asia Europe LL3 route starting from June, with a sailing cycle of 84 days. The route will be connected to Shanghai/Xiamen/Nansha/Hong Kong/Yantian/Gaime/Singapore/Piraeus/Hamburg/Rotterdam/Zebruch/Valencia/Piraeus/Abu Dhabi/Singapore/Shanghai in sequence.
