Hmm... What kind of 10000-TEU fast container ships with 18 knots of cruse speed and 30 knots of max speed would require 4 propeller shafts and more than one rudders on a hull with a block-coefficient close to 0.64 and a non-rounded (i.e. squared) bow?

The stated dimension of the ship has a waterline length of ~316 meters, waterline beam of ~42.25 meters, and a draft of ~13 meters (based on a 1:65 scale model).

Scaled up to full size would displace 110509.1 tonnes, could be some revision of the 004 hull.
