    [SINGAPORE] Being based in Singapore is an advantage in building a greener fleet, shipping line Ocean Network Express’ (ONE) chief executive officer, Jeremy Nixon, said in an interview with The Business Times.

    ONE is undergoing a major fleet expansion for a lower-carbon future, with about 50 new vessels on order.

    This includes a fleet of 32 S Class container ships that will be registered in Singapore. These can be modified to use the greener fuels methanol or ammonia, and thus enjoy incentives for cleaner ships, said Nixon.
