CSCL Indian Ocean is a container ship, operated by China Shipping Container Lines. She was built in Ulsan, Korea, by Hyundai Heavy Industries, and launched on November 15, 2014. At the time of her construction she, and her four sister ships, Globe, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Arctic Ocean, were the largest container ships afloat, each carrying 19,100 twenty-foot equivalent unit containers. Chinese officials said the vessels cost $136 million each to build.[5]

On February 3, 2016 Indian Ocean grounded in the River Elbe, while approaching Hamburg, Germany.[6][7][8] Her rudder controls were reported to have malfunctioned. It took almost a week to free her from the sandbank, because she grounded at high-tide. Her fuel was unloaded, and she was finally freed, February 9, six days later, during the next spring tide. Twelve tugboats were required to assist in freeing her.[9] Two dredge-ships had helped cut away at the sandbank, near the grounding.[10]

Indian Ocean's grounding triggered commentary over the wisdom of building such large vessels.[6][11][12]
