The 199.99-meter-long ship was designed by the Vietnam Shipbuilding Engineering Company (Visec) and Bluetech Finland Ltd. – a specialist in cargo ship design.
According to Nguyen Van Chi, Director of Dong Bac Shipping Industry JSC, the operator of the vessel, it belongs to the most modern class of its kind in terms of resistance, propulsion, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions.
The ship meets stringent requirements of the port administrations in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, he said.
