“Built on solid cooperation foundations from previous
projects, this renewed partnership marks deepened bilateral ties and embodies
the shipbuilder’s strategic achievements in tapping the South Korean market and
consistently serving East Asian shipowners,” stated Huangpu Wenchong. Designed by the Marine Design & Research
Institute of China (MARIC), the 6,406 teu container vessels feature an overall
length of 240 metres, a moulded breadth of 42.8 metres and a deadweight of
around 80,310 tonnes, equipped with 1,150 reefer container slots. Optimised for commercial efficiency and
green operation, the vessel design boasts multiple core advantages including
large loading capacity, low per-container transportation costs, flexible
operational adaptability, high sailing speed and superior environmental performance.
