The PCTC measures 200 meters in length and 38 meters in width. It features 12 cargo decks with a capacity of 7,000 CEU, capable of accommodating a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, heavy trucks, construction machinery, and new energy vehicles.
The vessel’s propulsion system adopts the latest generation WinGD dual-fuel main engine, MacGregor electronically controlled RORO system with iCER technology, permanent magnet shaft with generator, and BOG energy-saving design, which meets the strict Tier III emission standard requirements of the International Maritime Organization.
