The Seahorse 35 series was designed in 2007 by the Danish shipbuilding company Grontmij (formerly: Carl Bro / Dwinger Marine Consult). The ships have been built by Chinese shipyards for various shipping companies since 2008.

Each hold is served by its own hatch, the hatch covers of which are operated hydraulically. Four hydraulic ship cranes mounted amidships are available for cargo handling . The basic variant of the ship type has a cargo space of around 46,700 m³ and can transport around 35,000 tons at a draft draft of 10.10 m. The basically structurally identical version Seahorse 375 carries approx. 37,500 tons with a maximum unloading of 10.65 m. The units are designed for the transport of various bulk goods , such as grain, coal, minerals, including various dangerous goods.
