Neptune Lines orders two more LNG dual-fuel PCTCs from Fujian Mawei Shipyard in China

Neptune Lines on Thursday (1 February) announced the further expansion of its fleet through the Genesis Project with two more 4200 CEU LNG DF PCTCs (Pure Car Truck Carriers). 

The latest expansion comes following the recent order of the first two of the same series. This brings Neptune Lines’ total new building orders to four vessels through the Genesis Project, marking a significant milestone in the company’s strategic fleet enhancement. 

 “The Genesis Project exemplifies Neptune Lines’ role as an industry pioneer, driving positive change in the maritime sector. This expansion enhances the company’s commitment to leading the maritime transport sector into the new era of sustainability and technological advancement,” Neptune Lines said in a social media post. 

“The addition of two PCTC vessels is a key component of Neptune Lines’ strategic plan to bolster its fleet over the next decade. These vessels are poised to increase cargo capacity by 36% compared to the current core fleet vessels, while seamlessly aligning with global emission reduction objectives.”

Continuing the collaboration established with the first two vessels of the Genesis Project, Neptune Lines reaffirms its partnership with Deltamarin for the co-design of the two additional vessels. 

The company also remains engaged with Fujian Mawei Shipyard in China for its construction, ensuring the highest safety standards. Delivery is anticipated in 2027.
