History

The ships were originally ordered in 2011 by Neptune Orient Lines (NOL). They were to be delivered in 2013 and 2014. Five of the ships were chartered to Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL). [2] Construction started in 2012 and the first ship was delivered on 13 March 2013.

In 2017, around the same time as the first new Triumph-class container ship went into service the charter ended. [3] The ships were renamed and became part of the APL fleet.

In 2018 and 2019, eight of the ships were modified at the Cosco Zhoushan Shipyard and CSIC Qingdao Beihai Shipyard in China. The ships were made longer by adding two extra container bays and the wheelhouse was raised so that the containers can be stacked higher on deck. [4]
