We’re thrilled to announce the latest addition to the Zodiac Maritime fleet – a state-of-the-art, dual-fuel Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) with the ability to carry around 7000 cars.
The length of two football pitches, this vessel is designed to meet the evolving demands of global logistics with efficiency and environmental responsibility at its core.
Delivered last month following a successful sea trail, this vessel marks the ninth of ten ships to be handed over to Zodiac Maritime by Yantai CIMC Raffles Offshore Ltd. These technologically advanced vessels represent our unwavering commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility and operational excellence.
During a sea trial, a vessel is taken into open waters for rigorous assessment of its performance and to verify that all major systems are functioning as intended. This includes testing the engine, steering, navigation systems, alarms, safety equipment, blackout recovery, anchor operations, and much more!
The aim is to ensure the ship meets stringent safety and technical specifications, complies with international standards, and is safe and ready for service.
Sea trials are also witnessed by the relevant classification society, who confirm that the vessel meets the required rules and standards.
Charting a course toward a more sustainable and intelligent maritime future, we couldn’t be more excited to see her sail!
