Slated for delivery later this year, the ?Wan Hai 317? has a high container-carrying capacity of 2,646 TEU, including 1,688 TEU on deck and 958 TEU in hold. Designed with lashing bridges on deck for greater stability during transport, the 213m x 32.2m x 16.5m vessel can accommodate two tiers of high-cube containers in the hold.

The ship is also equipped with 400 reefers and is capable of a high homogeneous container intake of more than 1,960 TEU at 14 ton per TEU. With its hull specially designed to minimize propeller-induced vibration, the vessel can reach high service speeds of up to 23 knots for operational performance, while achieving optimal transport efficiency.
