Sallaum Lines Takes Delivery of LNG-Fuelled PCTC Pair
Shipping firm Sallaum Lines has taken delivery of two LNG-fuelled pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs).
The MV Ocean Express and MV Ocean Navigator have joined the firm’s fleet, it said in a LinkedIn post on Friday.
The vessel was constructed at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Jiangsu) and is equipped with dual-fuel LNG engines capable of operating on LNG and conventional marine fuels.
“As sister vessels to MV Ocean Legacy, both ships feature the same advanced technical specifications, propulsion system, and cargo capacity, ensuring operational consistency, efficiency, and reliability across our growing LNG-powered fleet,” it said.
While LNG is becoming a more widely available alternative marine fuel than options such as methanol or ammonia, these vessels may still need to transition to lower-carbon fuels such as bio-LNG as emissions rules tighten.
Bio-LNG can be used as a drop-in fuel in LNG-fuelled ships.
