The ships classified in Lloyd's Register belong to the group of ULCS container ships. They have comparable dimensions to the units of the Triple E class , the CSCL Globe type and the Olympic series , but a larger number of container spaces.

In terms of shipbuilding, the ships 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 20,170 TEU. There are also connections for integral refrigerated containers .

The ships are propelled by a two - stroke MAN B&W G95ME diesel engine that acts on a single fixed propeller . The main engines are designed to run on liquefied natural gas as fuel. The ships meet the IMO's Energy Efficiency Design Index .
