OCEAN Network Express' (ONE) EC5 service has started calling at the Port of Colombo. The service called at the South Asia Gateway Terminal (SAGT) in which APM Terminals holds a 33 per cent share.
Singapore-based ONE was established in
July 2017 following the integration of the container shipping operations
of "K" Line, MOL and NYK, Dubai's Maritime Standard reported.
ONE's EC5 service links Asia to the east coast of North America and
calls at Laem Chabang, Thailand; Cai Mep, Vietnam; Singapore and Colombo
before getting to the Atlantic via Suez and then calling at Halifax,
New York, Savannah, Jacksonville and Norfolk. The eastbound leg stops at
Halifax, Jebel Ali and Singapore.
Opened in 1999 SGAT was Sri Lanka's first private terminal. It has seen
almost continuous year-on-year volume growth ever since and achieved a
container throughput of 1.8 million TEU in 2017.
