H-Line’s LNG-fueled PCTC delivered in China

China’s Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) 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 7,000-ceu Glovis Success on November 26, eight months before the contract delivery date.

The vessel is 200 meters long and 38 meters wide. Its design draft is 8.6 meters, its design speed is 19 knots, and it has 12 vehicle decks.

GSI said this is the fourth and final 7,000-ceu PCTC it built for H-Line.

In 2022, H-Line placed orders for four LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,000 ceu at GSI.

GSI delivered H Line’s first LNG-powered PCTC, Glovis Solar, in April this 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.

In addition, H-Line placed an order with GSI last year for two LNG dual-fuel PCTS with a capacity of 8,600 units.

GSI said at the time that it has three 8,600-ceu vessels on order from H-Line and all of the ships will go on charter to Hyundai Glovis.
