Japan’s NYK Line and K Line have each signed up for a dual-fuelled pure car/truck carrier (PCTC) newbuilding.
The exact size of the LNG-fuelled car carriers has not been disclosed, but industry sources said they have a capacity of around 7,000 ceu.
NYK is said to have commissioned Shin Kurushima Dockyard to construct its LNG-powered PCTC newbuilding, while K Line has turned Imabari Shipbuilding to construct a similar size vessel.
