Among Deltamarin's 10 confirmed design contracts for pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) ships, eight will be LNG-fuelled and two will be powered by methanol.

Deltamarin will design four LNG-fuelled vessels for Chinese electric car maker BYD Auto. The 9,200-car equivalent unit (CEU) PCTCs will be constructed by shipbuilder China Merchants Industry. The first vessel is scheduled to be delivered in 2025.

It will also design four LNG-fuelled vessels for Sallaum Lines, a US-headquartered cargo shipping company and two methanol-fuelled PCTCs for China Merchants Energy Shipping.
