Next hybrid PCTC sets sails
The Norwegian car carrier UECC has just taken delivery of its second multi-fuel LNG battery hybrid PCTC. Built on China’s Jiangnan Shipyard, this PCTC, to be named “Auto Achieve”, will further contribute to reducing emissions in the European shortsea trade.
The company aims at a total of five eco-friendly vessels - over 50% of its owned fleet of nine PCTCs - when the third and final newbuild in the series is delivered later this year. Thus, 80% of its lifting capacity will be meeting or exceeding the IMO target to cut carbon intensity by 40% until 2030. (sh)
