Green Investment

We invest in assets that will take us towards a greener future.

As we transition towards a net zero future, investing in green, low-carbon assets and technologies will be essential to futureproof our operations and accelerate the decarbonisation of our fleet. ONE is committed to being at the forefront of the transition, as we innovate through research and development, and seek to implement viable solutions at scale across our operations, ranging from exploring alternative fuels to fleet and equipment upgrades. Crucial to advancing these technologies, we prioritise not only investing in assets but skilled individuals possessing specialised knowledge across our operations. We continue to expand our regional green teams and representatives, bringing expertise to all regions to spearhead sustainable initiatives and decarbonisation across our operations.

Key Developments

2024

Ocean Network Express advances net-zero commitment with Approval in Principle for Ammonia Dual-Fueled Vessel

The newly AiP-awarded 3,500 TEU vessel was jointly developed by ONE, Nihon Shipyard Co., Ltd. (NSY) and classification society DNV , as part of a joint development project established in late 2022 among the three parties.

ONE has been studying the feasibility of ammonia as an alternative fuel for zero emission according to the roadmap for alternative fuels which was developed by ONE in 2022. In conjunction with the roadmap, ONE participated in a GCMD-led ammonia bunkering pilot safety study.

2025 - 2026

ONE orders 20 new state of the art large container vessels

ONE is adding 20 modern Very Large Container Ships (VLCS) to its fleet, each with a capacity of over 13,700 TEU, set for delivery in 2025.

Designed for maximum efficiency, these vessels incorporate cutting-edge technology to minimize environmental impact and are planned for "Ready notation" or "AiP" (Approval in Principle) for Ammonia and Methanol as fuel, as well as Carbon Capture and Storage.

2027

ONE’s first methanol dual-fuel fleet

ONE is set to build twelve 13,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ships, scheduled for delivery from 2027.

Methanol is seen as a promising alternative fuel for emission reduction, and these ships will feature cutting-edge technologies, including optimized hull design, waste heat recovery, and bow windshields. Selected vessels will also have air lubrication systems and shaft generators to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
