COSCO Shipping Named its biggest Dual-fuel Car Carrier Vessel!

On March 20, the 8,600 CEU LNG dual-fuel car carrier Wenjingkou was officially named at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. . This vessel marks a significant leap forward as China’s largest and most environmentally advanced car carrier to date — and the largest NEV carrier in COSCO SHIPPING SPECIALIZED CARRIERS CO., LTD.'s fleet.

With a length of 199.9m, beam of 38m, and a draft of 9.2m, Wenjingkou boasts an impressive design speed of 19 knots and a range of 28,000 nautical miles. Equipped with LNG dual-fuel engines and an electric RoRo system, it achieves a 27% reduction in carbon emissions compared to conventional fuel vessels — fully aligning with IMO’s stringent environmental standards.

Key Highlights:
8,600 standard car spaces across 14 decks totaling 75,000 sqm (≈11 football fields!)
5 adjustable decks, with continuous adjustability on Deck 6 and 7
Max deck height of 6.5m for rolling on high-speed trains and oversized vehicles
Heavy-duty 250-ton stern ramp and side ramp, enabling fast and flexible loading of passenger cars, NEVs, engineering vehicles, buses, and MAFI cargo

This vessel isn’t just big — it’s smart, green, and ready to support the booming global demand for sustainable automotive transport.
