China Classification Society on Tuesday (19 September) said the first of two LNG dual-fuel ocean-going Pure Car And Truck Carriers (PCTC), ordered by SAIC Anji Logistics Co.Ltd, was successfully launched.
SAIC Anji Logistics Co., Ltd. ordered the two 7,600-unit capacity PCTCs, which complied with statutory inspections by CCS and classification by both CCS and DNV.
Measuring 199.9 meters in length, 38 meters in width, 15.5 meters in depth and at a service speed of 19 knots, SAIC ANJI SINCERITY is an advanced super-Panamax PCTC that meets the latest international emission regulations.
It was purpose-built to accommodate various types of vehicles, including new energy vehicles such as hydrogen fuel cell and lithium battery-powered vehicles, as well as sedans, trucks, and other wheeled cargos.
The project marked CCS’s inaugural large-scale PCTC classification project exceeding 7,000 unit capacity.
Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co., Ltd. has begun construction on the second ship of the LNG dual-fuel ocean-going 7,800-vehicle carrier project for SAIC Anji Logistics as well. Four ships in total are under construction as part of the PCTC project, all meticulously surveyed by CCS.
