The vessel, Höegh Sunlight, was officially named and commenced her maiden voyage today at Taicang Haitong Auto Terminal, Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners, said in a LinkedIn post.
“Taking delivery of 4 of the world’s largest and most environmentally friendly PCTCs within 6 months is a decisive step to renew the company and our industry,” Enger said.
