Noatum Maritime takes delivery of its first LNG-powered PCTC
Noatum Maritime has expanded its Ro-Ro capabilities with the delivery of its first LNG-powered Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessel, UGR Al Samha, on 24 March.
As explained, this vessel, introduced through the company’s joint venture with Erkport, United Global Ro-Ro, represents a key step in Noatum Maritime’s strategy to transition its fleet to alternative fuels. With 12 decks spanning 59,331 sqm and a capacity of over 7,000 car equivalent units (CEU), UGR Al Samha is a flagship vessel for Noatum Maritime’s Ro-Ro expansion.
The vessel will be deployed primarily on routes connecting the Middle East, Asia, and the Mediterranean.
By leveraging cleaner fuel technology, we are not only reducing our environmental footprint but also ensuring compliance with global regulations and enhancing value for our customers.
… said Captain Ammar Al Shaiba, CEO – Maritime & Shipping Cluster – AD Ports Group.
According to Noatum Maritime, the adoption of LNG technology –which the industry seems to favor a lot lately– not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures compliance with global environmental regulations while reducing maintenance costs.
