SAIC Anji welcomes another LNG-powered PCTC into its fleet

China’s Jiangnan Shipyard has delivered another 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 Virtue, on Tuesday.

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

The shipbuilder delivered the first vessel in this series, Anji Prestige, in December last year.

Designed by SDARI, the 199.9-meter-long vessels feature a 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.

Last 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.

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

Moreover, 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 2024, SAIC Motor’s cumulative wholesale sales amounted to 4.013 million units and terminal deliveries totaled 4.639 million units.
