AS9502 OOCL-HKG-AP Hong Kong Headquarters

AS9502 (OOCL-HKG-AP, registered as "Hong Kong Headquarters") is held by Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd., the Hong Kong container shipping and logistics carrier. This is a corporate enterprise network, not a service provider: the AS exists to connect a global shipping company's own offices, terminals and applications, not to sell connectivity.

What it's used for

The routing shape is what you would expect from a large multinational enterprise rather than an ISP. AS9502 announces 51 IPv4 prefixes totalling only about 13,056 addresses, and no IPv6 at all. Almost every one of those prefixes is a /24 carved out of a single legacy 146.222.0.0/16 block registered to OOCL. Deaggregating one /16 into dozens of /24s like this is the standard pattern for a company that lands small chunks of its own address space at many geographically scattered sites — regional offices, port and terminal locations, data centre presences — and wants each announced where it is actually used.

The neighbour count settles the role. Only about 5 BGP neighbours are observed. A network selling transit or serving subscribers at any scale peers with far more; five neighbours means a handful of upstream carriers bought for redundancy. Combined with the modest address count and the single-block origin, this reads clearly as an enterprise's own corporate network.

Notable

• OOCL is a container shipping line, so this AS carries corporate IT and customer-facing logistics systems (booking, tracking, EDI) rather than consumer traffic.
• The entire announced footprint originates from one legacy /16; the AS holds no announced IPv6 space.
