In terms of shipbuilding, the double-hulled ships classified by Bureau Veritas are designed like the majority of the ULCS series that are already in operation. The deckhouse is located approximately at the end of the forward third of the ship, which enables an improved line of sight and thus a higher forward deck loading, while the chimney and machinery are located in the rear third. The bunker tanks are arranged below the superstructure; they meet the relevant MARPOL regulations. The holds of the ships are closed with pontoon hatch covers. The maximum container capacity is given as 17,722 TEU. There are also connections for integral refrigerated containers . The berthing and casting off maneuvers are supported by a bow thruster .

The ships are propelled by an eleven- cylinder two - stroke diesel engine of the type MAN B&W 11S90ME-C9.2 built under license by Doosan , which acts on a single fixed-pitch propeller .
