Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has posted another record revenue figure, in a first indication that the second quarter saw the container ship boom continuing.
The Hong Kong owner banked $5.29bn in the three months to 30 June, up 52.4% from a year ago.
Hong Kong-listed parent Orient Overseas International Ltd (OOIL), owned by China’s Cosco Group, said this best-ever number was achieved “despite severe congestion around the network” that drove down liftings by 5.6%
