and finished at the beginning of March 2009. The ship was built in Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Ltd, South Korea under yard number 4135, for Dordellas Finance Corp., Panama.
. The ship has overall length of 365.5 m (1,199.1 ft); moulded beam of 51.2 m (168 ft); maximum draft of 16 m (52.5 ft); deadweight of 165,517 metric tons; gross tonnage of 153,092 gross tons; and cargo capacity of 14,000 TEUs.
Daewoo made some innovations in the ship's design, placing the superstructure in the midships and the engine room and funnels in the aft - this gives better stability and lower trim for higher speed, when the ship is fully loaded.
The ship is owned by Dordellas Finance Corp., Panama (Management & Operated by MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co SA, avenue Eugene-Pittard, 40, 1206 Geneva, Switzerland.)
