Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) is a Hong Kong-based container shipping and logistics service company.
OOCL is one of the world's largest integrated international container transportation, logistics and terminal companies with more than 320 offices in 70 countries around the world. OOCL has vessels of different classes with capacity varying from 2,500 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) to 13,000 TEU, and ice-class vessels for extreme weather conditions.
The Grand Alliance was formed in 1998. Its members are Hapag-Lloyd (Germany), NYK (Japan) and OOCL (Hong Kong).
OOCL offers around 78 weekly services around the world. Linking Asia, Europe, North America, the Mediterranean, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand, the company offers transportation services to all major east/west trading economies of the world. OOCL is one of the leading international carriers serving China, providing a full range of logistics and transportation services throughout the country.
OOCL affiliated companies own or operate dedicated container terminals in North America and Asia, namely: Long Beach Container Terminal in California and KAOCT in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Starting from 1993, after six years of research, the group succeeded in rolling out an IT system that was specially designed for the container shipping industry, Integrated Regional Information System (IRIS-2), in 1999. IRIS-2 integrates the business processes of all OOCL offices, customers' shipments and financial information into one system. OOCL was a finalist for the coveted Smithsonian Institution Award for Innovation in 1999 for the groundbreaking achievements with IRIS-2. IRIS-2 is written in GemStone/S Smalltalk, making it one of the largest Smalltalk applications in the world.
