Imabari Shipbuilding completes 70,000-ton Triton Highway vessel

This can transport 7,000 LNG-fueled vehicles.

Japan's Imabari Shipbuilding Group has completed and delivered the Triton Highway, a vessel dedicated to transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled vehicles.

In a statement, the company said the vessel has a length of 199.93 metres (m), and 77,509 gross tonnages. It can transport 7,000 LNG-fueled vehicles built in Marugame Headquarters.

Since its deck height can be adjusted, the ship can also tall freight cars such as trucks and trailers.

Compared to conventional fuel-fueled vessels, Triton Highway has lower carbon emissions by 25% to 30%, whilst its SOx emissions were reduced by almost 100%, and NOx emissions by 80% to 90% by using the exhaust gas recycling system.

The vessel can use the generated boil-off gas with generators and boilers, making it more environmentally friendly.
