technology

The ships are double classified by DNV GL and China Classification Society . As with the majority of the other container ships of this size, they have a deckhouse further forward , which allows an improved line of sight and thus a higher forward deck load. The ships have nine holds that are closed with pontoon hatch covers. Below deck, 18 rows of containers can be accommodated next to each other in eleven layers; on deck there are 20 rows and ten layers. The maximum container capacity is given as 14,568 TEU. If the storage space is fully utilized, an average container weight of around 10.5 tonnes could be transported; With the average container weight of 14 tons, which is usually assumed for comparison purposes, the capacity is reduced to around 10,500 units. There are connections for integral refrigerated containers .

The ships are powered by a two - stroke MAN B&W 10S90ME-C9 & 10 diesel engine that acts on a single fixed pitch propeller from Nakashima. The bunker tanks are arranged below the superstructure; they meet the relevant MARPOL regulations.
