Design

MSC Danit is a relatively new "New Panamax"-sized container ship. The ship has an overall length of 365.50 m (1,199.1 ft); a moulded beam of 51.20 m (168.0 ft); a maximum draft of 16.00 m (52.49 ft); a deadweight tonnage of 165,517 tonnes; measures 153,092 gross tons; and cargo capacity of 14,000 TEUs. Daewoo made some innovations in the ship's design, placing the superstructure in the midships and the engine room and funnels at the rear - this gives better stability and lower trim for a higher speed when the ship is fully loaded. The ship is owned by Dordellas Finance Corp., Panama (Management & Operated by MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co SA, avenue Eugene-Pittard, 40, 1206 Geneva, Switzerland.)

MSC Danit is the first ship of a class of 23 container ships.

Engine

The main engine of the container ship is a MAN B&W 12K98MC-C with a full power output of 72,240 kW. This is enough power for the ship to reach a maximum speed of 25 knots.

Christening

The ship was named on 26 March 2009 by the vice-president of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Ltd, president of MSC Israel, Edni Simkin, and his daughter Danit after whom the ship was named.

Incidents

On 16 October 2021, the ship was boarded in the Port of Long Beach by the United States Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board marine casualty investigators. They were investigating an undersea pipeline that appeared to have been damaged by a ship's anchor and recently spilled oil onto the beaches of Orange County. MSC and ship owner, Dordellas Finance Corporation, and others were designated as parties of interest in the investigation. [1]
