The vessel measures 299.9 x 48.4 x 14.5 m and has a maximum speed more than 25 knots powered by a MAN B&W licensed main engine rated at  64,485 HP. The ship was built under the supervision of Lloyd’s Register and registered in Monrovia, Liberia. Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores (CSAV) is the charterer of this series for long-term.
The ship series features a number of state-of-the-art technologies designed to reduced emissions and fuel costs.
Chief among them is a device used to enhance the flow into the propeller in order to increase propulsion efficiency and reduce energy loss, the Pre-Swirl Stator (PSS).
