Steel Cutting of Grimaldi Group’s first of seven new 9,000 CEU capacity car carriers
Ro-roThe steel cutting ceremony for the GRANDE TIANJIN marked the beginning of the construction of the first of seven new 9,000 CEU capacity PCTC’s ordered by the Grimaldi Group at the Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard.
The Ammonia Ready class notation received from RINA certifies that these new car carriers can be converted to use ammonia fuel in the future. Additionally, they are designed for cold ironing with shoreside supply or electricity.
The 200m long and 38m wide vessels will be deployed on voyages between Europe, North Africa, the Near and Far East, to meet the transport demands of operators in the automotive industry.
All seven vessels will be delivered during 2025 and 2026.
