She looks bigger than the 981′ she is. By today’s sixth boro standards, she’s not, and with a capacity for 9971 teu, she’s nowhere near the 15,072 of CMA CGM Panama, which I missed this week.
I’ve not noticed the wings to add lateral visibility near the stern, or
the starboard-offset stack.
As for the name, I’d thought the reference South American; in fact, it’s Asian, referring to high peaks shared by India and Pakistan, and a river that’s a tributary of the Indus.
All photos, WVD.

I don’t know the reason for that, Mage.

You said : I’ve not noticed the wings to add lateral visibility near the stern, or
It’s not for visibility – if you look under the wing there is a H rail for a gantry crane : spare parts access to the engine room via the funnel casing.
