[edit]Monte Olivia had its keel laid down on 17 May 2004[1] at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering[1] in Okpo, South Korea. Its hull has an overall length of 272 metres (892 ft).[1] In terms of width, the ship has a beam of 40 metres (130 ft).[1] The height from the top of the keel to the main deck, called the moulded depth, is 24.2 metres (79 ft).[1]
The ship's container-carrying capacity of 5,552 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) (5,552 20-foot shipping containers)[7] places it in the range of a Post-Panamax container ship.[9] The ship's gross tonnage, a measure of the volume of all its enclosed spaces, is 69,132.[1] Its net tonnage, which measures the volume of the cargo spaces, is 34,823.[1] Its total carrying capacity in terms of weight, is 71,372.9 long tons deadweight (DWT).[1]
The vessel was built with a HSD Engine Co. Ltd. 8RTA96C-B[6] main engine, which drives a controllable-pitch propeller. The 8-cylinder engine has a Maximum Continuous Rating of 45,760 kW (61,370 hp) with 102 revolutions per minute at MCR. The cylinder bore is 960mm. The ship also features four main power distribution system auxiliary generators, three at 4,100 kilowatts (5,500 hp), and one at 2,700 kilowatts (3,600 hp).[6] The vessel's steam piping system features an Aalborg CH 8-500 auxiliary boiler.[6]
