Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced that it received the ‘One Commitment’, its first magenta containership, at the Yantian International Container Terminals (YICT) in China on May 24, 2018.
The 8,560 TEU One Commitment, which operates on THE Alliance’s Asia to North America PN2 service, wears the magenta brand colour to convey an “energetic, innovative and confident perception” to customers, according to ONE.

She will continue her journey to Tacoma in the US and Vancouver in Canada.
