The third and final in the current series of advanced dual-fuel, LNG battery hybrid car carriers built for European short-sea ro-ro shipping provider UECC has been launched at the Jiangnan Shipyard in China.

Work will now continue on the vessel’s infrastructure, and it is expected to leave the shipyard at the end of July this year.  

The vessel, which has yet to be named, has a capacity for 3,600 vehicles on ten cargo decks, in line with the two other ships in the series.  

UECC’s chief executive Glenn Edvardsen paid tribute to the “monumental efforts” of Jiangnan Shipyard in dealing with the supply chain and workforce disruptions caused mainly by the Covid-19 pandemic and still delivering the vessel on time. He also pointed to the growth in the company’s fleet of more environmentally sustainable vessels.
