YM WELLBEING is a large containership built by Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan in 2018, commercially operated by Yang Ming Marine Transport.
At more than 366 metres long, approximately 152,000 GT and 146,749 tonnes deadweight, the vessel forms part of the generation of large 14,000-TEU ships introduced to the main East–West container trades during the late 2010s.
One significant change has taken place since the original PiraeuShips entry: YM WELLBEING no longer sails under the Panama flag.
She transferred to the:
Singapore flag
and remains fully active in the Yang Ming liner network in 2026.

Built by Imabari Shipbuilding
YM WELLBEING was completed in:
2018
by:
Imabari Shipbuilding.
Historical photographic records identify the vessel with the company's Mihara / Hiroshima-area facilities.
At delivery, she joined a group of very large containerships chartered or employed in Yang Ming's global network.
14,220 TEU
Current liner data gives capacity of:
14,220 TEU.
This makes YM WELLBEING substantially larger than the Panamax and post-Panamax ships that dominated international container shipping only a decade earlier.
She measures:
366.4 metres
in length and:
51.2 metres
in beam.
Different Gross-Tonnage Figures
The original PiraeuShips article simply rounded the vessel's size to:
150,000 GT.
Older ship databases often give:
151,451 GT,
while current insurance and registry information gives approximately:
152,017 GT.
These variations reflect different updated registry datasets rather than a meaningful change in the physical size of the vessel.
Original Panama Registry
When PiraeuShips documented the ship, YM WELLBEING sailed under the:
Panama flag.
Her original radio identity included:
MMSI 355563000
and:
Call Sign HPFB.
Transfer to Singapore
The vessel subsequently transferred to:
Singapore.
Current identification is:
MMSI 563226100
Call Sign 9V9755.
Gard's current insurance records identify:
Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation
as owner and show valid certificates extending into:
2027.
Piraeus Connection
YM WELLBEING has a documented Piraeus history.
She was photographed at:
Piraeus in January 2019,
only months after entering service.
PiraeuShips later published the dedicated:
YM WELLBEING – IMO 9820908
entry in:
June 2020.
The recording therefore dates from the ship's original Panama-flagged period.
Still Active in 2026
YM WELLBEING remains fully active in:
2026.
Current liner schedules show her operating in Yang Ming's major alliance network alongside:
ONE
and:
HMM.
September 2026 records placed her on the:
Far East Pacific 2
service, while later schedules continue into November.
PiraeuShips Record
YM WELLBEING was recorded by PiraeuShips during the early Panama-flagged phase of a large modern containership career. Built by Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan in 2018, the 366-metre vessel has a nominal capacity of approximately 14,220 TEU and a deadweight of 146,749 tonnes. Since the original PiraeuShips entry, YM WELLBEING has transferred to the Singapore flag and today carries MMSI 563226100 and call sign 9V9755, while remaining associated with Yang Ming Marine Transport. Still fully active in 2026 on major international alliance services, the ship gives the PiraeuShips archive a useful record of her original registry and early operating configuration.
