Vessel Description

The MSC ATHOS is a large Post-Panamax container vessel operating under the flag of Malta as part of the extensive fleet of the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world's largest container shipping line by fleet capacity. Built in 2013 at Samsung Heavy Industries in Geoje, South Korea, the vessel represents a class of high-capacity container carriers designed for deep-sea, high-volume trade routes.

With a capacity of approximately 13,100 TEU and a deadweight of over 141,000 tonnes, MSC ATHOS is suited for major East-West trade corridors, particularly the Asia–Europe and transatlantic lanes. The vessel is powered by a MAN B&W two-stroke diesel engine driving a single fixed-pitch propeller, delivering a service speed of approximately 22 knots.

As part of MSC's fleet, the vessel participates in scheduled liner services and is subject to slot-sharing and vessel-sharing agreements common within major shipping alliances. The ship complies with SOLAS, MARPOL, and applicable IMO conventions, and carries full GMDSS navigation and communication systems.
