With a history spanning over five decades, OOCL operates as a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas (International) Limited (OOIL), which is itself part of the Chinese state-owned COSCO Shipping Holdings, one of the world’s largest shipping conglomerates.

OOCL providing whole and safe services across major trade lanes connecting Asia, Europe, North America, and the Mediterranean. As an environmentally sound company, OOCL took a landmark step in May — completed Hong Kong’s first B30 marine biofuel bunkering operation in collaboration with Chimbusco, using a blend that reduces carbon emissions even further than previous standards.

A testament to its commitment to sustainability, OOCL is at the forefront of adopting green technologies. It operates a modern fleet that includes large, fuel-efficient vessels designed to minimize environmental impact. An interesting and lesser-known fact is that OOCL has a strong legacy of innovation in software development. Its in-house logistics software arm, OOCL Logistics, developed solutions that were so advanced they were spun off and even sold to competitors, establishing a benchmark for the entire industry.
