Each vessel is designed to safely carry 5,000 high-cube pallets of perishable fruit, along with up to 168 reefer containers, at a service speed of 18 knots. Two vessels have capacities of over 630,000 cubic feet, while five have capacities of 660,000 cubic feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All vessels will share the same specifications and form a new series, with deliveries scheduled from March 2026 through to 2028.
