With a TEU capacity of 8,102, it is deployed on the port’s Far East-Europe 1 liner service, a weekly route between Hamburg and Tokyo, Japan.

Jan Holst, ONE’s Director of Germany and Europe, said: “We are delighted to be able to welcome and to clear ONE’s first containership in the new corporate livery here in Hamburg.

“With the novel magenta colour scheme, we are making this a memorable call for ONE.

“This, for the shipping industry very unorthodox colour underlines our claim to do things differently and to create something new.

“Yet along with a striking brand presence, we continue to put our worldwide customers at the forefront of our activities”.
