On June 6, 2026, the OOCL Charleston team participated in the 2026 Waterfront Olympics, a community fundraising event organized by the Charleston Port and Seafarers Society. The event brings together local organizations in support of seafarers and port workers, fostering community engagement and collaboration.

Set in an outdoor environment, the Olympics featured a series of field‑day style competitions designed to promote teamwork, coordination, and sportsmanship. OOCL participants took part in activities such as sack races, three‑legged races, wheelbarrow relays, and team challenges, demonstrating strong collaboration and team spirit throughout the day.

The Charleston team delivered an outstanding performance, achieving multiple placements across individual and team events and securing third place overall among participating organizations.

Event Highlights:

• Multiple first, second, and third place finishes across various competitions
• Strong team participation across departments
• Recognition of individual and team achievements
  

In addition to the competitions, the event provided an opportunity for employees to engage with colleagues, families, and the wider port community, reinforcing OOCL’s commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture.

As the 2025 Spirit Award winner, OOCL was also invited to lead the opening parade, reflecting the team’s ongoing enthusiasm and contribution to the event.

The Waterfront Olympics continues to serve as a valuable platform for strengthening community ties while supporting the mission of the Charleston Port and Seafarers Society.
