Jiangnan hands over SAIC Anji’s second LNG-fueled PCTC

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

According to a statement by CSSC’s Jiangnan, it held on Thursday a naming and delivery ceremony for the LNG dual-fuel PCTC with a capacity of 7,600 units, SAIC Anji Splendor.

With this Jiangnan completed the project which consisted of building two 7,600-ceu dual-fuel PCTCs.

Earlier this year, Jiangnan delivered the first vessel in this series, SAIC Anji Sincerity.

Jiangnan claims this is currently the world’s largest LNG-powered car carrier in operation.

Designed by SDARI, the 199.9 meters long vessels feature WinGD dual-fuel engines and type C LNG tanks.

Back in 2021, the unit of Chinese largest carmaker SAIC Motor ordered two LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,600 units.

After that, SAIC Anji ordered three more LNG-powered PCTCs with a capacity of 7,800 units.

Jiangnan expects to deliver the three other ships in 2025.

SAIC Motor previously said that SAIC Anji Sincerity will transport the first batch of new vehicles of China’s brands SAIC, Dongfeng Motor, and Yutong to Europe.

The carmaker said that SAIC Anji’s fleet includes 31 vessels and the firm operates seven international routes covering Southeast Asia, Mexico, South America, and Europe.

A total of 12 new PCTCs with a capacity of 7,000, 7,600, 7,800, and 9,000 vehicles will join its fleet in the next three years.

SAIC Motor sold a total of 5.02 million vehicles in 2023, maintaining its position as the top Chinese automaker, while it achieved overseas sales of 1.21 million units, a year-on-year increase of 18.8 percent.
