The Panama-flagged vessel has a total length of 171.9 metres, a breadth of 32.2 metres, and a service speed of approximately 18 knots. The ship is classed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and is powered by a MAN 6S60ME-C10.6 main engine.
Maersk Notodden is designed to carry a large number of refrigerated containers and is also equipped to transport various hazardous materials that are subject to the international maritime dangerous goods (IMDG) Code.
