Almost, alexds.

This is the "Royal Dock No. 4" (RD-4), with the capacity of 120,000 tons, while RD-5 is marginally larger, but can lift 10,000 tons more.

Cheers

I will try to keep up with these new babies, obviously. :)
It is said that the contract for them was signed after MSC got very happy about the previous Daewoo batch, plus the generous financing conditions...

Cheers
