Ocean Network Express (‘ONE’) is pleased to announce the establishment of ‘Advanced Ocean Container Transportation Engineering Lab’ (AOCTEL), a stowage planning hub located in Kumamoto, Japan.

AOCTEL is established to succeed the role and responsibility of Kumamoto Stowage Planning Office. The office was founded by Kozo Keikaku Engineering Inc (‘KKE’) for Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha five years ago, and ONE succeeded the service agreement with KKE when liner business of the 3 Japanese shipping lines integrated in April 2018.

Strengthen efficiency improvement

After the integration and commencement of ONE’s operation, Kumamoto Stowage Planning Office took on the initiative role among ONE’s global stowage planning offices to strengthen efficiency improvement.

To further advance stowage performance, enhance global teamwork and perform beyond best practice, ONE Japan, the subsidiary company of ONE in Japan, and KKE established AOCTEL, as the new partnership with the aim of working collaboratively with an innovative approach in providing best in class quality and service to ONE’s valued customers.
