MOL takes delivery of LNG dual-fuel car carrier

The newbuild has an LOA of 199.93 metres, a moulded beam of 38 metres, a depth of 22.8 metres, a gross tonnage of 77,965, and a capacity of 7,033 CEUs. The beam of the vessel itself is approximately six metres (20 feet) greater than on earlier other MOL PCTCs to permit the carriage of up to 600 additional vehicles while maintaining the same hull length.

The propulsion arrangement consists of a Mitsui-MAN 6S60ME-C10.5-GI main engine with a rated output of 10,800 kW at 100 rpm and four generators. This configuration can deliver a service speed of 18 knots.

Like her sisters, Lazulite Ace will be operated by MOL Auto Carrier Express, MOL’s vehicle transport business unit.
