OOCL maintained a 100 percent compliance with the Port of Long Beach Green Flag program in 2006 and 2007. OOCL donated its rebates, totaling US$140,000, back to community projects and charities in Long Beach.
OOCL also complies with the Qualship 21 program, which identifies quality operation of non-US flagged vessels, and holds the most rigid safety and pollution-prevention standards in the world.
OOCL has a had a voluntary fuel saving program in place since 2001, which is the most effective way to cut down on greenhouse gas
es (especially CO2). Initiatives to minimize fuel consumption include:
OOCL conducted a Shore Power Study (in 2003) and a Sea Water Scrubber Study (in 2005) in order to compile different ways to reduce emissions at both port and sea.
In 1992, five years in advance of the Montreal Protocol
- an international treaty designed to protect the Earth's ozone layer
- OOCL chose to change the design of its refrigerated container machinery in order to eliminate the production of CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons). Today, OOCL only uses CFC-free refrigerants in all its reefer containers.
OOCL voluntarily complied eight months early with the Port of Long Beach “Clean Truck Program”. From 1 Jan 2008, OOCL stopped using pre-1989 trucks for all port moves between Southern Californian terminals and off-dock rail ramps, again helping to reduce emissions.
The University Scholarships have been established in six renowned universities. They are Tsinghua University
, Peking University
, Fudan University
, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University
and Nanjing University
. Since the establishment of the scholarship more than 2,500 undergraduate and post-graduate students have been awarded scholarships with more than US$2.3 million in funding. Every year, a selection panel is set up in each university to shortlist potential candidates, based on academic results and performance, plus active participation in extracurricular activities.
Based on the same selection criteria, the Employees' Children Scholarship is awarded annually to the children of employees in all OOCL offices in all countries and regions.
OOCL also participates in many other types of community support with worthy purposes. One of the major and on-going projects that OOCL is involved in is Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere). OOCL is assisting with the transportation of the latest diagnostic medical equipment and supplies from the United States (donated by global corporations) to Shanghai Children's Hospital
, China.
OOCL sponsors many musicals and shows visiting the Asia-Pacific
region, including CATS, Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You
, Swan Lake
on Ice, Musical Moments and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
OOCL also complies with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code
(ISPS Code). The ISPS Code states that, as threat increases, the only logical counteraction is to reduce vulnerability. Subsequently, ships will be subject to a system of survey, verification, certification, and control to ensure that their security measures are implemented. This system will be based on a considerably expanded control system as stipulated in the 1974 Convention for Safety of Life at Sea
(SOLAS).
OOCL also complies with the Container Security Initiative
(CSI) and the US Customs 24-Hour Advance Cargo Manifest Declaration Rule.
OOCL was founded by C. Y. Tung
In 1947 as the Orient Overseas Line. It changed its name to Orient Overseas Container Line in 1969, when it began the process of containerization
.
In 1969, OOCL was the first Asian shipping line to transport containerized cargo across the Pacific, and in doing so changed the face of global trade in the Asia Pacific region.
At its peak, OOCL had a shipping fleet with over 150 freight ships, with a cargo capacity exceeding 10 million tons; it was one of the world's top seven shipping lines. At one stage it also owned the Seawise Giant, the largest ship ever built.
The founder of OOCL, the late C Y Tung, dreamed of creating the first international Chinese merchant fleet. In 1947, he achieved that dream when the first ship with all-Chinese crews reached the Atlantic coast of the USA and Europe. Regular cargo and passenger services were subsequently developed under the name of Orient Overseas Line.
When containerization began in 1969, the company was re-named Orient Overseas Container Line. In those days, Victory-class vessels could carry 300 TEU, a far cry from today's post-Panamax vessels that ply the world's oceans. In April 2003, OOCL took delivery of the SX-Class OOCL Shenzhen, then the largest containership ever built at 8,063 TEU, 2006 it was passed by Emma Mærsk
.
After C. Y. Tung's death in 1982, C. H. Tung
, assumed the leadership of Orient Overseas (International) Limited (OOIL), OOCL's parent company for 14 years. In 1996, C C Tung took over at the helm on C H Tung's election as Chief Executive of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region.
In September 1970, Tung purchased the famous oceanliner RMS Queen Elizabeth
to convert it into a floating university, to be known as Seawise University, in his efforts to keep the World Campus Afloat program alive. On 9 January 1972, the ship caught fire during refurbishing and sank into Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour
and the wreckage had to be scrapped three years later.
In 2003 OOCL lost one of its senior executives - Courtenay Allan, who was at the time its Transatlantic Trade Director. Courtenay died after falling down a lift shaft on one of its ships, the OOCL Montreal in Le Havre. In 2007 the case has moved on where the French Authorities are investigating in various jurisdictions around the world to establish the facts behind the case. Various initiatives by the Allan family have included a visit to Hong Kong with C. C. Tung - Chairman of OOCL in December 2006.
There are many other shipping companies whose history has become part of OOCL by absorption. These include Furness Withy
, Houlder Brothers
, Manchester Liners
, Shaw Savill, PSNC
, Prince Line & the Alexander Shipping Company.
