The vessel will be 225 metres long and weigh 37,512 deadweight tonnes. It will be constructed in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
The self-unloading barge will be delivered with the first Great Lakes ballast water treatment system meeting EPA standards.
The vessel's construction is scheduled for completion in mid-2020.
