About this network

The US network of OOCL, one of the world's large container shipping lines.

What it's used for

• Corporate networking. Three prefixes carved from 146.222.0.0/16, 3,072 addresses in total, all registered as OOCL-USA-INC.

Notable

• Two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced. An end site with a second way out and nothing else.
• The three blocks are a /21 and two /23s taken from the same range, lit as separate announcements rather than as one.

Interesting

• Container shipping is a business that runs on data as much as on steel. A single vessel carries tens of thousands of boxes, each with a booking, a customer, a customs declaration, a place in the stowage plan and a temperature setpoint if it is refrigerated. Getting that wrong strands cargo at a port, so the line's booking and documentation systems are the operational core of the company, and this address space is where the US end of them lives.
• OOCL was founded in Hong Kong by C. Y. Tung and stayed a family firm for decades before COSCO acquired it in 2018. The AS still announces under the OOCL name, as acquired networks usually do — renaming an AS is paperwork with no operational benefit.
