She carried a cargo of 53,100 tons of Jet A1 aviation fuel from Texas City/Houston to the Far East. According to Shell, the vessel's operator, this is thought to be the largest clean product parcel ever to transit the canal. The Zidona is one of the series of 17 sister vessels built by Burmeister & Wain Shipyard in Denmark and was delivered in late 1989. She is a Panamax double-hull design, type CPT 54E, and has proved to be very successful for the company. The vessel is one of four ships from the series bareboat chartered by Shell International Marine Ltd., in London.
