Built at Guangzhou Wenchong
The ship was delivered from:
Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard
on:
12 September 2006.
Her Wenchong feeder design became extremely successful with European shipowners because it offered an effective balance between:
cargo capacity,
moderate dimensions,
and access to secondary ports.
1,732 TEU
Eurobulk's own technical information and current liner databases give nominal capacity of approximately:
1,732 TEU.
At approximately 177 metres long, JONATHAN P remains far smaller than modern mainline containerships but is correspondingly more flexible in feeder and regional services.
Earlier Identities
The ship's documented previous names include:
MARUBA ZONDA
FRITZ REUTER
and:
PIRAEUS TRADER.
MARUBA ZONDA was an early charter identity.
The ship later traded for many years as FRITZ REUTER before becoming PIRAEUS TRADER in 2020.
JONATHAN P
In:
October 2021
the vessel became:
JONATHAN P.
She subsequently entered her present Greek-controlled ownership and management structure.
Greek Ownership and Management
Current records identify:
Jonathan Shipowners Ltd.
as registered owner.
The vessel is managed by:
Eurobulk Ltd.
in Greece.
This makes JONATHAN P another example of a foreign-flagged but Greek-controlled feeder vessel operating in the international liner market.
DNV Class
Current classification is:
DNV.
Eurobulk publishes the class notation for the vessel as a cellular containership with automated machinery and container-related notation.
The old PiraeuShips page listed:
Germanischer Lloyd,
which reflected the historic class identity before GL became part of DNV.
PiraeuShips in 2022
PiraeuShips published:
JONATHAN P – IMO 9357872
in:
August 2022,
less than a year after the vessel adopted her current name.

18,480 GT
23,600 DWT
176 m length

23,732 DWT

November 2026.
By mid-October she was operating on CMA CGM's:

PiraeuShips Record
JONATHAN P was recorded by PiraeuShips shortly after the vessel adopted her current Greek-controlled identity. Built at Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard in 2006, the 1,732-TEU feeder previously traded under the MARUBA ZONDA, FRITZ REUTER and PIRAEUS TRADER names before becoming JONATHAN P in October 2021. Current ownership is held by Jonathan Shipowners Ltd., with management by Greek company Eurobulk Ltd., while the vessel remains under the Liberian flag and DNV class. At 20 years of age in 2026, JONATHAN P remains fully operational in CMA CGM's international network, including West African feeder services. The PiraeuShips footage therefore captures the beginning of a name and ownership chapter that continues actively today.
