HONG KONG's Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has unveiled its newest 8,888-TEU vessel, the OOCL Memphis, in Shanghai, which will be used on the Super Shuttle Express between Asia and North America.

The ship is the fourth of eight 8,888-TEUers OOCL has ordered from Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Company.

In thanking the shipbuilder, OOCL chief executive Andy Tung said: "The OOCL Memphis cannot only help lower energy consumption levels but also reduce emissions to improve our environment."

The ship's 42-day port rotation is Shenzhen-Yantian, Shenzhen-Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung and Long Beach, then back to Asia, calling at Kaohsiung, Xiamen, Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Yantian.
