The ship is designed for unrestricted, worldwide, fast container service. Below-deck containers are stowed in fixed cell guides, and a portable lashing system is provided for above-deck containers.
Holds are closed by weathertight pontoon hatches which are designed for stacking on adjacent covers. The container mix is readily adaptable to suit individual owner requirements. At the design draft of 34'-6", container capacity is 1,650 TFEU, or 1,400 TFEU plus 125 Forty-Foot Auto Frames (FAFs). The ship's stability characteristics permit a maximum of 1,910 TFEUs (or 1,650 TFEUs plus 130 FAFs), which is achieved through 4-tier on-deck container stacking. Receptacles for refrigerated containers are provided in holds and on deck in 5 of the 16 container rows.
