The Pegasus class is a series of 14 container ships.
Six ships were built by Samsung Heavy Industries for the Singapore based Eastern Pacific Shipping.[1] Another six ships were built by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering for Minsheng Financial Leasing and China Bank of Communications Financial Leasing.[2] The last two ships are built by Hyundai Heavy Industries and are owned by Ship Finance International.[3] The 14 ships were charted by Mediterranean Shipping Company. The ships have a maximum theoretical capacity of 19,368 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) to 19,462 TEU.[4]
The class is made up of three series of ships, each built at a different shipyard. The ships are all similar in size but do have a somewhat different design. The ships are chartered to MSC by various companies.
