The 7,000 CEU roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel, UGR Al Samha, will join the existing fleet of RoRo liner United Global Ro-Ro, a recently formed joint venture between AD Ports Group and Turkey-based logistics and port services provider Erkport.

The PCTC will be deployed “mostly on routes within the Middle East, Asia and the Mediterranean,” Noatum Maritime said.

LNG-capable means that the vessel can run on LNG as well as conventional marine fuels like VLSFO, HSFO and MGO.
