China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International has handed over a new LNG-fueled pure car and truck carrier to South Korean owner H-Line Shipping and charterer Hyundai Glovis.
According to a statement by GSI, the shipbuilder hosted a naming ceremony for the 8,600-ceu Glovis Trinity on November 11.
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 third and final 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.
GSI noted that this delivery marks the successful completion of the shipowner’s seven-vessel car carrier project.
In November 2024, GSI delivered the final vessel in the 7,000-ceu series, Glovis Success, to H-Line.
GSI delivered H Line’s first LNG-powered PCTC, Glovis Solar, in April last year, 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.
