Crowley Maritime has taken delivery of one of the world’s first LNG-powered container/ro-ro (conro) ships from shipbuilder VT Halter Marine.

El Coqui is the first of two commitment class, LNG-powered conro ships being built for Crowley’s shipping and logistics services between Jacksonville, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The 26,500-dwt vessel will make its maiden voyage to San Juan later this month from Jacksonville.
