Madrid Maersk was the largest container ship at the time of launch,[3] but was surpassed shortly after the launch of OOCL Hong Kong, and she was the second container ship to surpass the 20,000-TEU threshold, after the MOL Triumph. She was built at the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering shipyard and was delivered in April 2017. Her first port on her maiden voyage was Port of Tianjin, China.[4]

Madrid Maersk has a capacity of 20,568 TEUs and is the first of eleven second-generation Maersk Triple E-class container ships. Maersk Line, the company owner, is taking delivery of the remaining ten plus 17 additional smaller vessels to replace older ships through the end of 2018.[4]
