Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced the establishment of a new subsidiary company, ONE DEJIMA CO. in Nagasaki city, Japan.
The new company has received the support of Nagasaki Prefecture, Nagasaki City, Fukuoka Financial Group and the Juhachi-Shinwa Bank, Ltd.
ONE DEJIMA CO., which will be supporting some of the operational functions from ONE’s global headquarter in Singapore, aims to both expand ONE’s global network and promote regional revitalisation in Japan.
ONE has already established Advanced Ocean Container Transportation Engineering Lab (AOCTEL) in Kumamoto Prefecture to develop and foster talents with specialised skills.
In preparation for the launch of ONE DEJIMA CO., which includes support from local governments, ONE will be working closely with Fukuoka Financial Group and the Juhachi-Shinwa Bank who have reportedly established strong networks within the local communities.
Earlier this month, ONE announced its new West India North America (WIN) container service, directly connecting the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) with seven ports in Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Egypt.
More recently, ONE confirmed the successful refloating of its flagship vessel, ONE Orpheus, after it ran aground in the Suez Canal.
