Making a mark with ro-ro tonnage

摘要

In the early days of China's re-opening, there was not much call for domestic ro-ro ships or car carriers, hence the business was an export-focused one. The earliest instance of this ship type appearing in a Chinese dock was when Ahrenkiel commissioned two 3500 unit vessels in 1985 from Jiangnan in China.rnThe first ship, named Wolfsourg, was started in December 1986, launched on 8 January 1988, and delivered on 5 October 1988. The second ship, named Hannover, was launched on 30 August 1988 and delivered on 18 February 1989.
