Sallaum Lines takes delivery of LNG-powered PCTC in China

China’s Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding has delivered one LNG dual-fuel pure car and truck carrier to Switzerland-based Sallaum Lines.

Fujian Mawei and Sallaum Lines announced the delivery of Ocean Explorer in separate statements on Tuesday.

According to the Chinese shipbuilder, the 7,500-ceu LNG dual-fuel car carrier was delivered four months ahead of the contracted delivery date.

The new PCTC is 199.9 meters long, with a 38-meter beam and a depth of 14.8 meters.

Also, the cargo space includes 13 vehicle decks, designed to carry passenger cars and heavy trucks.

In 2022, Sallaum Lines ordered two LNG-powered PCTCs at Fujian Mawei.

After that, Sallaum Lines also placed an order for LNG-powered PCTCs at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard.

In July 2025, Sallaum Lines took delivery of Ocean Breeze from Fujian Mawei, the first LNG dual-fuel PCTC in its fleet.

The vessels are part of a broader strategy by Sallaum Lines to establish a China-focused global logistics network.
