It is green, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and efficient, safe and reliable. The ship is designed with a 14-story garage deck, which can flexibly load a variety of models such as electric vehicles, hydrogen energy vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks. The maximum loading capacity of a single ship is 10,800 vehicles. Calculated based on a standard vehicle of 5 meters, the loaded vehicles are connected end to end and are more than 50 kilometers long. It is a veritable "sea giant". After the ship is delivered, it will be handed over to South Korea Hyundai Logistics Co., Ltd. for operation.

10,800-car LNG dual-fuel car carrier (PCTC) No. 2 ship "GLOVIS LEGEND" Since the launch of cooperation in 2022, Guangzhou Shipbuilding International has delivered four high-quality car carriers to HMM.

With the delivery of the second 10,800-car LNG dual-fuel car carrier of this project, it marks another new fruitful outcome of the cooperation between GSI, HMM and GLOVIS.
