Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL)
SCAC: OOLU
Hong Kong container line owned by COSCO Shipping since 2018, running in the Ocean Alliance.
OOCL traces back to 1947, when C.Y. Tung started Orient Overseas Line in Hong Kong. The container business took the OOCL name in 1969, and the company became the first Asia-based carrier to move containerized cargo across the Pacific. That early bet on containerization shaped its identity, and OOCL still operates a dedicated container terminal in Kaohsiung through its affiliate, and remains a long-term tenant at the Long Beach terminal it sold in 2019.

About Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL)
OOCL traces back to 1947, when C.Y. Tung started Orient Overseas Line in Hong Kong. The container business took the OOCL name in 1969, and the company became the first Asia-based carrier to move containerized cargo across the Pacific. That early bet on containerization shaped its identity, and OOCL still operates a dedicated container terminal in Kaohsiung through its affiliate, and remains a long-term tenant at the Long Beach terminal it sold in 2019.
The carrier has long been an information-technology leader in shipping. It rolled out its IRIS-2 cargo system back in 1993, an early move toward electronic documentation and shipment visibility that competitors took years to match. OOCL's newbuilding program has also chased scale: the 21,413 TEU OOCL Hong Kong, delivered in 2017, briefly held the title of the world's largest container ship.
In 2018, COSCO Shipping completed its roughly 6.3 billion US dollar takeover of parent Orient Overseas (International) Limited, making OOCL part of the world's largest container group while keeping the OOCL brand and Hong Kong base intact. OOCL sails within the Ocean Alliance alongside COSCO, CMA CGM, and Evergreen, with offices in around 70 countries and strong coverage on Transpacific, Asia-Europe, Transatlantic, and intra-Asia trades.
