Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced the deployment of its brand-new container ship M/V ONE Satisfaction, which will be servicing the Transatlantic AT1 service between Europe and the US.

Launched in March 2026, the AT1 service connects Southampton with Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven and Le Havre, before crossing the Atlantic to call at New York, Norfolk, Charleston and Savannah, later returning to Southampton.

The container ship measures 336 metres long with 161,626 DWT and a capacity of 13,900 TEU. Its design supports heavy payload requirements and has the capability for methanol or ammonia fuel conversion, driving operational efficiency and sustainability.

In launching the new ship, it strengthens ONE’s presence on the trade route between Europe and the US and its commitment to reliable service quality and customer experience.

Tom Hosaka, Managing Director of ONE, Europe and Africa region said: “We are very pleased to introduce this new and efficient S- Class vessel to our AT1 service, underlining our long-term commitment to the Transatlantic market.

“As our brand continues to gain recognition globally, we remain focused on the values that define our business: quality, customer satisfaction, innovation and reliability. We believe this deployment will further enhance the value we offer our customers on this important trade route.”

Logistics UK’s Senior Policy Manager Alexandra Herdmann said: “Logistics UK welcomes the introduction of M/V ONE Satisfaction on the Transatlantic AT1 service, which represents a significant investment in strengthening vital trade links between the UK, Europe and the United States.

“Reliable, high-capacity maritime services like this are essential to keeping supply chains resilient and supporting economic growth.

“It is particularly encouraging to see future-ready vessel design being prioritised, with the potential for alternative fuel conversion aligning with the sector’s transition towards net zero.

“Continued collaboration between shipping operators, ports and policymakers will be key to ensuring the UK remains competitive and well-connected in global trade.”
