Built in Shizuoka, she is powered by one 4500hp Hanshin diesel, producing a service speed of 12 knots.

She carries 365 TEU, and has two 25 tonne cranes.


The biggest ship to visit Onehunga until "Milburn Carrier II" arrived on the scene, it's a wonder she was able to make it across the Manukau Bar and through the Wairopa Channel at all! According to the official figures, she has an 8 metre draft - so when you consider that the berths alongside the wharf are only dredged to 5 metres ...

Now operating for Russian owners.
