LNG-powered Quetzal ushers 'next era' of ocean shipping for Crowley
LNG-powered Quetzal, a newbuild containership chartered by U.S. shipping and logistics company Crowley from Eastern Pacific Shipping, has set sail on its inaugural commercial voyage, opening the “next era” of ocean shipping with a new class of vessels for the company in the U.S., Central America, and the Dominican Republic.
Quetzal is a 1,400 TEU containership built by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea for Singapore-based Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS). The newbuild initiated service on April 11-12 at Port of Santo Tomás, Guatemala as one of four Avance Class vessels that will operate under a long-term time charter to Crowley.
The remaining vessels, Copan, Tiscapa, and Torgoz, are also scheduled to enter service in 2025.
