The ships of the OOCL SX class were among the world's largest container ships when they were commissioned in 2004 .
history
The series was delivered from 2003 to 2007 in an edition of twelve ships by the South Korean shipyard Samsung Heavy Industries in Koje. The client for the series was the Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL), where the ships are still in service today. All ships of the class are used in liner services between Europe and East Asia.
