China’s Jiangnan Shipyard has delivered a new LNG-powered pure car and truck carrier to compatriot SAIC Anji Logistics.

CSSC’s Jiangnan handed over the LNG dual-fuel PCTC with a capacity of 7,800 units, Anji Prestige, on Monday.

Jiangnan said this is the first of three SAIC Anji’s LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,800 units.

Designed by SDARI, the 199.9-meter-long vessel features WinGD dual-fuel engine and type C LNG tanks.

Back in 2022, SAIC Anji ordered three LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,800 units.

Earlier this year, Jiangnan delivered the first vessel and the second LNG dual-fuel vessel with a capacity of 7,600 units to the unit of Chinese largest carmaker SAIC Motor.

According to SAIC Motor, Anji Prestige will work on the US-Mexico route after its maiden voyage to Europe.

The carmaker said that SAIC Anji’s fleet now includes 33 vessels, and the firm operates eight international routes covering Southeast Asia, Mexico, South America, and Europe.

Over the next three years, a total of 14 PCTCs will be added to the SAIC Anji ocean-going fleet, accelerating the overseas expansion of independent Chinese brands.

The expansion of SAIC Motor’s ocean-going fleet has demonstrated the rapid growth of the automaker’s overseas business.

In 2023, SAIC Motor sold a record 1.21 million units overseas, an 18.8 percent year-on-year increase.

During January-November this year, SAIC Motor’s wholesale sales in the overseas market surpassed 940,000 units.
