The C class is a series of 8 container ships built for Maersk Line. The ships were built by Odense Steel Shipyard in Denmark and have a maximum theoretical capacity of around 9,640 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU). {{Cite web|title=Shipping Schedules {{!}} Vessel Schedules {{!}} Maersk|url=https://mybeta.maerskline.com/schedules/|access-date=2020-12-24|website=mybeta.maerskline.com}}
The last three ships were built with a slightly different design compared to the first five. Overall they are slightly wider and were built with a slightly taller bridge.
Between 2011 and 2016, five of the ships were upgraded at the Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry shipyard in China.{{Cite web|date=2017-12-20|title=Qingdao Beihai becomes the go-to yard for boxship jumboisation|url=https://splash247.com/qingdao-beihai-becomes-go-yard-boxship-jumboisation/|access-date=2020-12-24|website=Splash247|language=en-GB}}
