History
In September 2000 Oldenburg-Portugiesische Dampfschiffs-Rhederei GmbH & Co.KG (OPDR) of Hamburg acquired 100% of the shares of FOCS Canary Container Service, S.L., Tenerife from Fred. Olsen and Co, Oslo. The company subsequently switched its registration and headquarters to the United Kingdom and 'FOCS Container Service Ltd.' was formed in April 2003.

The company maintained key personnel and the full agency network of the Fred. Olsen service, providing unrivalled experience and knowledge of the Canary Island market.

FOCS offers a weekly fixed day service from the UK and the North Continent to/ from the Canary Islands utilising OPDR vessels under a slot charter agreement. More recently the company has started to extend its service to adjacent areas.

FOCS has become established as a leading carrier in the Canary Islands, with shippers and receivers recognising that as a dedicated Canary Island carrier-FOCS offers a premium service and is able to give close attention to the specific needs of its clients.
