Ramping up the size

摘要

Car carriers over the last 10-15 years have seen little change to their design. Much of what has been produced has been efficient such as the Norwegian Car Carriers (NOCC) vessel NOCC Oceanic built in 2012. So successful has this design been that NOCC has ordered two more pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) with a capacity for 6,500 units from the South Korean yard for delivery in the last quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. Specification for the new vessels will be similar to those on NOCC Oceanic with some minor upgrades to that design, said NOCC.
