China’s First Home-made Dual-Fuel Ro-Ro Ship Embarks on Maiden Voyage

What’s new: SAIC Motor Corp. Ltd.’s first custom-built, ocean-going car carrier ship, known as roll-on/roll-off, set off on its maiden voyage from Shanghai to Europe Wednesday.

The SAIC Anji Sincerity, built by China State Shipbuilding Corp. and operated by SAIC’s Anji Logistics unit, is the world’s largest ro-ro ship equipped with a dual-fuel system that utilizes liquefied natural gas and diesel, which enables it to reduce carbon emissions by 30% compared with ships of a similar size, said Anji Logistics general manager Jin Qi.
