MSC SHIPS WITH ROMAN NUMBERS

[Juan Carlos C.]

What's up, I've seen that some MSC ships have the name and they've added Roman numerals. Does anyone know why this is?...

Example
MSC BENEDETTA XIII

Interesting Tony. Thanks for the info.
I wonder how widespread this Roman numerical system will be used.
Cheers,

Hi, Tony
As Mr. ROY says, very interesting, and it makes sense, since the MSC BENEDETTA has a capacity for more than 13 thousand TEUs and the Roman numeral XIII
Great thanks
