  The C class is a series of 8 container ships built for Maersk Line. The ships were built by Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark and have a maximum theoretical capacity of around 9,640 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
  
  The last three ships were built with a slightly different design compared to the first five. Overall they are slightly wider and were built with a slightly taller bridge.
  
  Between 2011 and 2016, five of the ships were upgraded at the Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry shipyard in China.
