As Brazil and Japan celebrate 130 years of diplomatic relations, Ocean Network Express, in just seven years, has become a vital bridge between the dynamic Latin American and Asian markets. With a global network and Brazil as a key regional focus, ONE reinforces cooperation and commitment to facilitating trade between these important economies.
Sustainability is central to ONE’s strategy. The company continuously invests in green technologies, exemplified by the ONE Sparkle and ONE Sphere vessels that recently arrived on Latin America’s west coast. These state-of-the-art ships, prepared to run on alternative fuels such as methanol and ammonia, significantly reduce emissions and ensure efficient transport of sensitive cargo, including fresh fruit exports from Latin America to Asia. This commitment echoes the region’s unique potential in renewable resources and strengthens its role in transforming future green ports.
By combining innovation, sustainability and our strong local presence, ONE strengthens the ties between Latin America and Japan, not just with ships, but with trust, a clear vision for the future and continuous collaboration.
Colin de Souza, President of ONE Latin America
Digitization is also a strategic pillar for ONE. Digital solutions like ONE Quote for instant quotes/bookings, ONE eBL for digitized shipping documents, and the Container+ system for real-time refrigerated cargo monitoring, ensure efficiency and transparency. Aligned with platforms like the International Maritime Organization’s Maritime Single Window, ONE believes successful digitization depends on collaboration among shipping lines, terminal operators and port authorities for efficient information and cargo flow.
ONE’s presence in Latin America is robust, with offices in 11 countries and over 4,100 customers, nearly two-thirds in Brazil. Additionally, ONE works with 16 partner agencies throughout the region. Key sectors such as agribusiness and automotive benefit from the company’s approximately 21 services, including six dedicated routes to Asia. Recent services like the East Coast South America Express 2 and enhanced River Plate Express and River Plate Service routes further strengthen connectivity with Asia.
ONE strives to be “Your Number ONE Shipping Partner,” reaffirming its commitment as a strategic ally, offering comprehensive coverage, innovative solutions and quality service.
“By combining innovation, sustainability and our strong local presence, ONE strengthens the ties between Latin America and Japan, not just with ships, but with trust, a clear vision for the future and continuous collaboration,” said Colin de Souza, president of ONE Latin America.
