Its hull has an overall length of 272 metres (892 ft).[1] In terms of width, the ship has a beam of 40 metres (130 ft).[1] The height from the top of the keel to the main deck, called the moulded depth, is 24.2 metres (79 ft).[1]

The ship's container-carrying capacity of 5,552 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) (5,552 20-foot shipping containers)[7] places it in the range of a Post-Panamax container ship.[9] The ship's gross tonnage, a measure of the volume of all its enclosed spaces, is 69,132.[1] Its net tonnage, which measures the volume of the cargo spaces, is 34,823.[1] Its total carrying capacity in terms of weight, is 71,372.9 long tons deadweight (DWT).[1]

The vessel was built with a HSD Engine Co. Ltd. 8RTA96C-B[6] main engine, which drives a controllable-pitch propeller. The 8-cylinder engine has a Maximum Continuous Rating of 45,760 kW with 102 revolutions per minute at MCR. The cylinder bore is 960mm. The ship also features 4 main power distribution system auxiliary generators, 3 at 4,100-kilowatt (5,500 hp), and 1 at 2,700-kilowatt (3,600 hp).[6] The vessel's steam piping system features an Aalborg CH 8-500 auxiliary boiler.[6]

Construction of the ship was completed on 14 October 2004.[1] As of 2018, the ship is classified by the ABS with the code "A1, Container Carrier, AMS, ACCU; RRDA, BWE, UWILD, PMP[1]", meaning that it was constructed under the supervision of a recognized classification society, that the construction complies with the society's rules, and that it is classed as a general cargo carrier and container ship.[1]
