ONE takes delivery of 14,000-TEU GRUS

The newbuild will be deployed on THE Alliance’s Asia to Europe 5 service.

   Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. announced Friday that the 14,000-TEU ONE GRUS has been delivered to Japan Marine United Corporation’s Kure Shipyard. 
   This is ONE’s first delivery this year and the fifth newly built 14,000-TEU magenta containership. 
   ONE GRUS will be deployed on THE Alliance’s Asia to Europe 5 service, with the port rotation of Leam Chabang, Cai Mep, Singapore, Colombo, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Southampton, Jeddah, Colombo, Singapore and Laem Chabang.
   According to the announcement, the ONE GRUS “is equipped with outstanding safety and environmentally friendly capabilities such as structural arrest technology and highly efficient welding technology. ONE GRUS employs a hull form that improves efficiency in cargo loading, which is achieved by minimized engine room space. It also has excellent structural safety due to its crack arrest technology. 
   “Additionally, the vessel is equipped with the world’s first dual-rating system technology in its main diesel engine, with two selected output for high or low rating. This allows flexibility in operations and improves fuel efficiency, resulting in significant reduction of greenhouse gases,” ONE said.
   The integrated navigation system reduces operators’ workloads, according to ONE, which said a wide window aids berthing and unberthing.
