Japan’s Ocean Network Express (ONE) container line, starting from April 2018, launches a service in Ukraine via subsidiary Container Terminal Odesa at the Odesa seaport. The press service of Container Terminal Odesa reported, referring to Executive Commercial Director Ihor Yarovenko, the contract has been signed. In January and February 2018, cargo flow of subsidiary Container Terminal Odesa was 52,499 TEU. Last year the company attracted new clients like Yang Ming and Cosco Shipping Lines. In addition, ZIM company continues boosting its cargo flow via Container Terminal Odesa thanks to the increase of the size of container vessels from Asia.
Thus, the company said that despite the announced transfer of the service of Maersk company to the Yuzhny port from April 2018, which amounts to about 10% of all containers handled by Container Terminal Odesa, the subsidiary will not lose in freight traffic and will increase volumes in 2018.
General Director of Container Terminal Odesa Anastas Kokkin believes that the company and the port of Odesa will remain the leader in the container market of Ukraine.
