MSC Daniela is the lead ship of her class of container ship operated by the Mediterranean Shipping Company that at 366 metres (1,200 ft 9 in) is one of the largest container ships of the world, with a twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) cargo capacity of 14,000 containers. The building of MSC Daniela was started on 1 July 2006 and finished at the end of 2008; the ship was subsequently crowned as the largest according to cargo capacity. The shipbuilder was Samsung Heavy Industries in Geoje, South Korea.
However, MSC Daniela is now neither the longest container ship in the world, nor does it have the largest tonnage.
