"MSC CANDIDA" is the largest container ship of the new generation Panamax vessels. The ship adopts a new design concept of "safety, economy and environmental protection", is equipped with a ship energy efficiency management system, and integrates many energy-saving measures suitable for actual ship operations, making it highly operable in actual operations.

The ship's EEDI is 57% below baseline. At the same time, energy-saving technologies such as an air lubrication system and a 4-MW shaft generator are also used to fundamentally reduce fuel consumption and improve economic benefits, making it easier for shipowners to achieve better energy-saving effects during operation and management, and maximize energy efficiency and economy.
