Madrid Express (originally MSC Fabiola) is a container ship built for the Hamburg based Peter Döhle Schiffahrtsgesellschaft by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea. The ship was initially chartered by the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) as the MSC Fabiola. From 2019 onwards the ship was chartered to Hapag-Lloyd as the Madrid Express. In 2012 the MSC Fabiola became the largest container ship to ever dock in North America, and the largest ship to enter the San Francisco Bay.[3][4]
MSC Fabiola is the first of a series of identical sister ships. The other three are MSC Faustina, MSC Fillippa, and MSC Filomena.[5]
