OOCL has held the naming ceremony for OOCL Grace, the second of seven 24,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container vessels being built for the company by Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. (NACKS). The ceremony took place at the NACKS shipyard, where Ms. Annetta Duan, Global Logistics Director of Hayco Group, named the vessel and offered blessings in the presence of guests. OOCL Grace follows OOCL Wisdom,
the first vessel in the series, which was named in May 2026. OOCL Wisdom went on to complete its first green methanol bunkering and began its maiden voyage to Europe in July 2026. The series consists of currently the world's largest methanol dual-fuel container vessels, and the remaining ships are expected to be delivered and deployed in succession. Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Peter Pan, Director of Trades and Member of the Executive Committee of OOCL, said the company remains committed to expanding, greening and digitalizing its fleet despite a complex market environment. He said the successive delivery of OOCL Grace and her sister vessels would allow OOCL to optimize capacity deployment and network configuration, aiming to provide customers with more stable and sustainable logistics solutions while supporting global trade connectivity.
