Spotted on the Daily Echo e.mail today and I thought it may be of interest especially to Jargon:
A UNIQUE ship is due to dock in Southampton tomorrow.
MV Auto Eco is the world’s first duel-fuel car and truck carrier capable of running on liquid natural gas or heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil.
At 181 metres, with a 30-metre beam, she is one of the one of the most technically advanced pure car/truck carriers ever built.
Boasting a capacity of approximately 4,000 cars, including 6,000 sqm of high and heavy cargo, Auto Eco has the capability to load cargo on 10 decks to a maximum weight of 160MT.
