EPS adds new LNG-powered PCTC to its fleet

Singapore’s Eastern Pacific Shipping took delivery of another LNG-fueled pure car and truck carrier in China.

China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Weihai handed over the LNG dual-fuel PCTC, Lake Travis, to EPS on Wednesday.

The shipbuilder owned by China Merchants said this is the fifth ship of its 7000 ceu dual-fuel car carrier series.

China Merchants Jinling Shipyard in Weihai is building six LNG-powered PCTCs for EPS.

At nearly 200 meters in length and 38 meters in width, the new vessel can transport 7,000 cars, and its deck surface is spread across 12 levels.

Also, the ship has a gross tonnage of 72,000 tons and will move at a max speed of 19 knots.

The RoRo vessels’ hybrid power system includes both LNG and electric battery capabilities, and it is equipped with two 2000 cbm LNG tanks.

VesselsValue data suggests that Lake Travis will now serve a three-month charter with South Korea’s Eukor Car Carriers.

The first four vessels in this series of six LNG-powered PCTCs are serving charter deals with CMA CGM’s unit CEVA Logistics.

These four vessels will allow CEVA to transport about 140,000 vehicles annually between global markets, especially China and Europe, it previously said.
