Built by Sanfu Shipbuilding, Seaboard Valor measures 248 meters in length, 35.2 meters in width, and 19.2 meters in depth, with a cargo capacity of 3,500 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). It is the largest container ship ever constructed in Taizhou's Gaogang district.

Powered by a dual-fuel main engine using both LNG and marine gas oil (MGO), it ensures exceptional performance that is also environmentally friendly.
