Japan's Imabari Shipbuilding group has delivered two 13,932 TEU sister container ships to Ocean Network Express (ONE), reports Miami's Datamar News.
Imabari Hiroshima delivered the ONE Shine, while Imabari Marugame handed over the ONE Simplicity. These are the ninth and tenth units in a 15-ship series scheduled for delivery across 2025 and 2026, according to Alphaliner.
ONE's order book includes 47 container vessels, with 27 in the 14,000 TEU compact neo-panamax class. Orders are split between Imabari, CSSC Jiangnan, and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. In addition, Hyundai Heavy Industries is building 16,000 TEU dual-fuel LNG ships for the line.
Industry sources said ONE is negotiating up to 22 additional newbuilding orders in the 14,000-TEU and 16,000-TEU segments. The latest vessels measure 336 metres in length, with a beam of 51 metres and a deadweight of about 160,000 tonnes.
The ships are powered by MAN B&W 7G95ME-C10-LPSCR engines delivering 48,000 kW, enabling speeds of up to 22 knots. Following delivery, the ONE Shine joined the Asia-West Coast South America service with Hapag-Lloyd and MSC, while the ONE Simplicity sailed for Shanghai to join a similar joint service with MSC.
