MSC MATILDE V (IMO: 9181663) is a seasoned Panamax container ship that serves as a vital link in global supply chains, primarily operating on transatlantic trade lanes between the United Kingdom and North America. Built in 1999 by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea, this 294-metre-long vessel features a carrying capacity of approximately 4,400 TEU and flies the flag of Panama under the management of the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). Propelled by a powerful MAN-B&W engine, it balances a gross tonnage of over 53,000 tons with a service speed of up to 24 knots, allowing it to reliably shuttle consumer goods and industrial cargo across major oceanic routes.
