Maersk Boston is the first of the Maersk B-class of fast container ships. She was then called the "MV Boston", to reflect her charter to MSC in September 2010.
She has the capacity for approximately 4,000 containers and was designed for rapid transportation between China and the USA. Along with four of her sister ships, she was laid up in Loch Striven in Scotland.
