For engine ratings, on vessels with unmanned E/R at night, the rule of thumb is to carry 3 ratings, so that they may form part of seawatches in the engine room together with the engineers if needed.
A new vessel, like this, may also carry a fitter for a short period, in order to arrange engine room work shop, store rooms and other details that is typically left to vessel crew when departing the newbuilding yard.
Note also that flag state stipulates, in the "Minimum safe manning document", number of crew (and their qualifications), which is always lower than what a ship owner / manager places onboard. Most owner has a higher number of crew, if they wish to protect their investment, but around 20 sounds fair for this size / trade (unrestricted).
Minimum safe manning standards was recently amended to also include manning levels for operations and maintenance, as opposed to before when minimum safe manning was just enough to man the ship to sail from A to B and handle the vessel in an emergency.

This is a typical breakdown of crew members:
Master, C/O, 2/O, 3/O.
C/E, 2/E, 3/E, 4/E + reefer electrician (sometimes two leccies if they regularly carry a high number of reefers).
Cook/steward, A/S, Messman.
Bosun, 2 AB's, 2 or 3 O/S's.
Some companies don't carry a Bosun, the deckies just get on with the job.
Almost the same manning levels for just about any ocean-going boxboat these days,
Regards, Rick

Many thanks for your splendid photos of this behemoth's maiden arrival Felixstowe. You didn't, per chance, determine her manning number did you - would be interested to know how many individuals are required to operate her?
Regards,
Mike.
