ONE Cygnus

 Another of the ONE bird class ships arrived today, June 7, on THE Alliance's EC5 service. ONE Cygnus was built by Japan Marine United in 2019 is the last of the ten ships of the bird class. All but ONE Cygnus and ONE Wren were built with NYK prefixes, but they have now been renamed with "ONE", as they are all working for the Ocean Network Express, the joint venture of the principal Japanese container lines (NYK, K-Line and MOL). [As an aside it is interesting to note that there was already a "Swan" in the group - NYK Swan built in 2017 and renamed ONE Swan in 2020; cygnus being the Latinized Greek name for the swan: cygnus atratus.]

The ship made an interesting sight as it made its way inbound. Because its deck load was only four boxes high instead of the usual six boxes, more of the bridge superstructure was visible, including the supports for the bridge wings. 

As with its sisters, the 146,694 gt, 138,611 dwt ship is rated at 14,026 TEU. Its last port was Colombo, Sri Lanka, and it transited the Suez Canal on May 24-25.
