Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced its financial results for the first quarter of FY2026, covering the period from 1 April to 30 June 2026. The container carrier generated revenue of US$4.539 billion and recorded a net profit of US$31 million during the quarter. Revenue increased from US$4.049 billion in the same period last year. However, net profit declined from US$86 million as higher fuel prices and operating costs offset stronger cargo demand and freight rates. “The first quarter reflected a demanding market, with Middle East disruption raising fuel and operating costs across the industry,” said Till Ole Barrelet, CEO of Ocean Network Express. “As demand recovered through the quarter, we improved yields and maintained high utilisation. We have raised our full-year forecast and remain focused on operational agility as conditions evolve,” added Barrelet.
