The vessel, which operates for Hapag-Lloyd under the German flag, is still superlative. With a length of 335.47 m, a beam of 42.94 m and a height of 60.50 m, she is as big as three football pitches.

With a crew of 23, the ship operates a service every two months from the home port of Hamburg. The "Colombo Express" class generation includes seven sister ships.
