The Port of New York and New Jersey marked a new milestone on March 28, celebrating the maiden voyage of the ONE Eagle at Port Liberty Bayonne. The 14,026 TEU capacity cargo ship is the first vessel to call the Port of New York and New Jersey from the Premier Alliance, a cooperation of three shipping lines: HMM, Ocean Network Express (ONE), and Yang Ming Transportation. 

ONE Eagle’s arrival was recognized with a small ceremony on board hosted by Captain Gagandeep Singh. Bethann Rooney, port director of the Port of New York and New Jersey, presented a plaque to mark the occasion. Others in attendance included Rado Saragih from the Port of New York and New Jersey, Brian Jackson and Bob Nixon of Port Liberty Bayonne, Peter Mastandrea and Melissa Spata from ONE.

The Premier Alliance, established in February 2025, was founded to optimize capacity, improve cost efficiency, expand market coverage, and enhance service reliability. The alliance comprises a fleet of over 300 container vessels with a total capacity of 3 million TEUs serving 24 dedicated service routes from Asia, primarily connecting to North America’s East and West Coasts, the Mediterranean, North Europe, and the Middle East. The ONE Eagle is part of the alliance’s newly launched EC3 Service, which connects Vietnam to the U.S. East Coast via the Cape of Good Hope and makes a double call at the Port of New York and New Jersey.
