("巴拿马运河当局在15个最大客户中进行抽签，中远公司拥有的这艘集装箱货船被抽中，将成为运河扩建后通过的第一艘船只。这艘取名为 '安德洛尼卡' 号（The Andronikos）的集装箱货船在马绍尔群岛注册")

Note:
(a) English-language news reports all use "Andronikos" only -- without "the."

(b) Andronicus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andronicus
(Greek: Andronikos; "is a classical Greek name. The name has the sense of 'male victor, warrior.' The female is Andronike. Notable bearers of the name include: * * * Five Byzantine emperors: [the first being] Andronikos I Komnenos (1118–1185)")
(i) There were five Byzantine emperors, all of whom shared the same first name. That is why serial number I to V were placed between their (common) first name and (somewhat different) last names
(ii) Click the first Byzantine emperor "Andronikos I Komnenos." You will learn about him: c 1118 – 1185; "[a Greek name which was] usually Latinized as Andronicus I Comnenus."

You see, he was Greek by birth, though the popular language at the time was Latin, so the name was Latinized.
(iii) Andronikos is composed of andro-

(c) The Chinese-owned Andronikos is a New Panamax ship with maximum capacity of 9,400 containers (which in marine lingo is twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) ).

Panamax

(Panamax specifications have been in effect since the opening of the canal in 1914; In 2009 the ACP [Panama Canal Authority's Spanish name is Autoridad del Canal de Panamá, hence the acronym ACP] published the "New Panamax" that will be in effect when the canal's third set of locks, larger than the current two, becomes operational [in June, this year -- as it turns out]; section 3.2 Comparison of sizes [between Panamax and New Panamax])
