Globally, the ONE OCEANTM partners currently have more than 3000 vessels covered by Fleet Service Agreements and the number is growing.

Fundamental to ONE OCEANTM’s operating model is providing a single point of contact for a reliable, cost efficient and high quality service delivery through a single, integrated network of services stations.  Currently, the ONE OCEANTM network has 16 IRM hub service centres located in North America, Europe, the Middle East, North East and South East Asia, each serving the local and regional market.  There are well defined plans for growing the network and the number of hub centres will certainly increase over the next few years.
