Why do so many Chinese products have these weird alphanumeric names? They'll build the world's first cold fusion reactor and call it the RNG-42_Mk2.1(final).
They code pertinent information into the name so people who understand their convention can easily understand what a product is.
I'm no ship expert but it looks like the KUN-24AP has a standard capacity of 24,000 cargo containers. So I'd assume that the 24 is referring to the capacity.
If they announced a KUN-12AP I'd assume it was a boat about half the capacity.
