Airbus has christened 5,200-dwt Chinese-built Ro-Ro vessel to transport A380 components; it measures 154 m x 24 m x 22 m with 22 m x 14 m stern door (6,720 sq m cargo deck space), and is to sail from Nanjing to Europe in April.

Was this ship custom built for airbus or on lease?

I believe it was custom built for A380 production. By the way, does anyone know how roll-on roll-off cargo vessels work?
