Built in Nykobing, she is powered by one 1311hp MWM diesel, producing a service speed of 12 knots.

Ice strengthened, she can carry 120 TEU, and has two 50 tonne cranes.

She was chartered by Pacific Forum Line for their feeder service in late 1988, and her routes included Auckland - Suva - Funafuti - Tarawa - Majuro, which was the route she operated when making her lone call at Onehunga.

Prior to and subsequent to her time in the Pacific, she served her Danish owners well before her sale to Indonesian operators in 2004. Has been laid up in Jakarta since 2012.
