Japanese liner operator Ocean Network Express (ONE) has returned all of its capacity to the market in what amounts to a sharp turnaround in the carrier's fortunes.

The Singapore-based company was one of the liner players that withdrew capacity and blanked sailings due to the early impact of the coronavirus.

But a surge in demand for container shipments has led it to return that into the market and deploy more vessels on trades as extra-loaders, chief executive Jeremy Nixon said.
