Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has just taken delivery of its first newbuilding in over five years and also its largest ever container ship.

The 24,188-teu OOCL Spain (built 2023) was recently handed over by Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering Co (Nacks) in Nantong, China.

OOCL said the ship is not its first vessel to exceed the 24,000-teu threshold, but it is also among the very largest container ships in the world as measured by carrying capacity.
