The Sejanus-class container ship is one of the most popular products of Maritime Imperial. Originally developed in 1980 under commission from Maltropian Cargo International, it was designed for efficient regional and domestic shipping and has undergone continual refinement to serve this purpose ever more effectively.

The cargo hold is designed to make the most of the ship's dimensions, with specially-shaped cell guides arranged for standard TEU or FEU containers. When fully loaded, the Sejanus is capable of taking 5,300 TEU. This size is ideal for short-range international shipping and sufficiently small to navigate through most major straits or canals, conforming to Colimax specifications.

At Maritime Imperial, we realise how important cost-effectiveness is in the shipping industry. While the Sejanus may have a high initial cost, it more than makes up for it over time with operating costs well below average, assuming regular maintenance. The vessel is designed to operate at a maximum of efficiency, powered by three of Enmar Industries' DT-13 diesel engines which give it a reliable source of power. The recommended crew size is a mere 14, though the ship has accommodation for more and can fit up to forty in its lifeboats in the improbable event of an emergency.

The Sejanus, like most of MI's vessels, boasts a reinforced hull to push aside pack ice and reduce the danger posed by larger obstacles. A second hull is contained within the first to provide against a hole or leak in the outer hull, with the cavity between the two being narrow to minimise the amount of water that will be taken on in such an event and to allow for the largest possible cargo. The bow is shaped so as to maximise the ship's ice-breaking ability, curving to push broken ice from in front. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee the hull will hold up in thick pack ice, and we advise a specialised icebreaker such as Maritime Imperial's Argalium-class for this role.

Under Maltropian maritime law, we are obliged to conform with WA GAR #20, Suppress International Piracy. For this purpose, the Sejanus comes equipped with three fixed-mount water cannons to deter pirates or other attackers, and two weapons lockers are located at opposite ends of the ship for defensive purposes. The standard purchase model of the Sejanus comes with cutting-edge navigational equipment and two lifeboats, each capable of holding up to 20 passengers. Purchase cost, without extras, is 85 million NSD.

Optional extras include the addition of three fixed rotary cranes, spaced evenly along the length of the vessel, to assist in the unloading process. Purchasing the vessel with cranes will add an additional 4 million NSD to the price. A schematic of a crane-equipped Sejanus is available here.
