Imabari Shipbuilding has completed and delivered the MAERSK NOTODDEN, a container carrier with a capacity of 2,086 TEU, at its Imabari yard on September 9, 2025.
The vessel has been designed with enhanced operational flexibility. It features up to two lashing bridges on deck, large capacity for refrigerated containers both below and above deck, and certification for carrying IMO-classified dangerous cargo. To improve cargo handling in ports lacking facilities, the ship is equipped with three deck cranes.
In line with environmental and efficiency requirements, the vessel incorporates several energy-saving measures, such as a specialized appendage near the propeller, a high-efficiency propeller design, and advanced hull coatings to reduce resistance. It exceeds the latest Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) standards. Pollution control systems include exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for the main engine, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) on the generators, and ballast water treatment equipment. The ship also carries a recycling inventory list consistent with the Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships.
