Green Pecem, a 77,000 dead-weight-ton multi-purpose pulp carrier, or MPC, has been delivered to its customer recently in Dalian, Liaoning Province. Its maiden voyage will head to southern China to load new energy vehicles before sailing to countries in Latin America.

“The vessel is mainly used for transporting paper pulp. However, to enhance operational efficiency, our company independently designed a system that meets the conditions required for transporting new energy vehicles,” said Liu Yu, deputy manager of the material management department at COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Dalian) Co Ltd, or CHI (Dalian), a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co.

The multi-purpose vessel can also carry various other cargo, including grain, iron ore, high-speed trains, wind power equipment and large machinery, as well as oversized and heavy steel pipe structures.
