Description:

Third vessel in the series of 5 ultra-large container vessels, she was delivered today, and christened by her godmother and namesake. So, now we know that this 23,656 TEU vessel was named after a daughter of a MSC executive from Russia who, instead of her Barbie doll, got to play with this big baby...

(And I can now get some sleep, finally... maybe.) :)

Hi Vlad, not entirely true. The long-term (mostly bare-boat) charters still get (female) names.
Only short(er) time charters who are not managed from MSC get geographical names.
Cheers,
Roy

Lappino - quite surprise that the Japanese bank agreed to have the ship built out of Japan since they funded her construction.

Thank you for your comments. I remember the story of MSC Oscar and Oliver, also named after children, but did not think of it until I saw the vessel's godmother...
I am also familiar with the usual "owned vs. chartered" naming practice, but this one does not comply with it: the vessel is owned by Doun Kisen from Japan, and the money for her construction also came from a Japanese bank.

Cheers

It used to be the case that MSC owned vessels were named after children as described, and those named after places were chartered. However I don't know if that still applies. The number of owned MSC vessels is now quite large, and they may have used all the names!!!!

Hi Vlad,
it is quite common that MSC vessels are similarly named after childrens of MSC country tops.
