New PCTC operational


The Naples (Italy)-headquartered Grimaldi Group has enlarged its fleet by adding the new Pure Car & Truck Carrier (PCTC) "Grande New Jersey".

 

On 4 September, the group took delivery of the fourth of a series of seven sister ships ordered from the Chinese Yangfan shipyard located in Zhoushan. The vessel, as its name says, will run on the weekly ro/ro service operated by the Grimaldi group between the Mediterranean and North America.

 

With a length of almost 200 m, the vessel has a gross tonnage of more than 65,000 t and a service speed of 19 knots. The ship flies the Italian flag and can transport around 7,600 ceu (car equivalent units) or, alternatively, 5,400 linear metres of rolling stock and 2,737 ceu. (mw)
