Named "Liao He Kou," alongside its sister vessel "Min Jiang Kou," these ships are breaking records as the world’s largest Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) vessels, boasting a capacity to accommodate an impressive 7,500 vehicles across 13 decks, including 4 liftable decks.
Equipped with LNG dual-fuel power and state-of-the-art green environmental technologies, the vessel complies with the rigorous TIER III emission standards set by the International Maritime Organization. This advanced design promises substantial energy savings and emission reductions during operation. Compared to conventional fuel oil RoRo vessels, the "Liao He Kou" achieves approximately 20% energy savings, along with significant reductions of about 27% in carbon emissions, 30% in nitrogen oxide emissions, 99% in sulfide emissions, and over 90% in particulate matter emissions.
On a typical round-trip journey from China to Europe, the use of LNG as an alternative fuel is estimated to decrease CO₂ emissions by over 2,100 tons per voyage, equivalent to the carbon absorption of 10,000 adult trees over 20 years.
During the loading process at the dock, a variety of new commercial vehicles from renowned brands such as BAIC, Liuzhou Motor, BYD, and CHERY were carefully loaded onto the "Liao He Kou" for transport to Europe.
Key features of the new vessels include real-time monitoring and precise positioning of vehicles throughout the transportation process. This technology offers customers a visualized experience of the entire automobile logistics supply chain, monitoring temperature and vehicle conditions in real-time, providing warnings for high temperatures and alarms for ultra-high temperatures.
Recognizing the unique challenges in transporting new energy vehicles, Yuanhai Car Ship and Ship Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. have developed 3-ton special lashing straps for car ships. These innovative straps have earned two Chinese patent certificates for "Appearance Design" and "Utility Model," significantly enhancing operational efficiency and supporting the large-scale export of new energy vehicles.
