- the first ship over 6,000 TEU capacity (actual capacity of 6,400 TEU);
- the first container ship over 300 meters (length of 318.2 meters);
- the first with 42.80 m breadth; and
- the first over 80,000 GT;

In 2008, the vessel name was renamed to Maersk Kure, and the registry was also changed, from Denmark to Greece.
