China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International has handed over a new LNG-powered pure car and truck carrier to South Korean owner H-Line Shipping and charterer Hyundai Glovis.
According to a statement by GSI, the shipbuilder handed over the 8,600-ceu Glovis Trust on February 27 at the Haijia automobile terminal in Nansha port.
The vessel is 200 meters long and 38 meters wide. Its design draft is 9.2 meters, and its design speed is 19 knots.
GSI said this is the first in a series of H-Line’s LNG dual-fuel vessels with a capacity of 8,600 ceu.
It is an upgraded version of H-Line’s four LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,000 ceu.
In November 2024, GSI delivered the final vessels in this series, Glovis Success, to H-Line.
GSI delivered H Line’s first LNG-powered PCTC, Glovis Solar, in April, the second vessel, Glovis Sunshine, in July, and the third vessel, Glovis Selene, in September.
All of these vessels serve charter deals with Hyundai Glovis.
