The pure car and truck carrier will be powered by LNG and battery technology, significantly reducing emissions significantly and exceeding sustainablity goals outlined by the IMO
European short-sea, ro-ro shipping provider UECC has taken delivery of its first dual-fuel finished vehicle vessel, which is powered by both liquified natural gas (LNG) and battery technology.
The Auto Advance is the first in a series of three newbuild, hybrid pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) being built by China’s Jiangnan Shipyard. The others are due for delivery in 2022. Each has capacity for 3,600 vehicles on 10 cargo decks.
