CLdN orders LNG hybrid Ro-Ro pair from South Korean yard

CLdN, through its CLdN Ro-Ro business unit, has awarded South Korea’s Hyundai Mipo Dockyard a contract for two hybrid 8,000-lane-metre Ro-Ro vessels.

The ships will each be equipped with two LNG dual-fuel 11MW main engines as well as two electric propulsion motors. In full electric mode, a cruising speed of 16 to 17 knots can be achieved.

CLdN said that, compared with its largest vessels currently in operation, the new Ro-Ro vessels will generate 40 per cent fewer GHG emissions.

Both vessels will be delivered in the first half of 2025.
