CM Guangzhou – China Merchants' first 7,800CEU methanol dual-fuel car carrier

China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES) has taken delivery of CM Guangzhou (CM 广州), the first ship in a series of four 7,800CEU methanol dual-fuel pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) ordered from within the China Merchants Group.    The Hong Kong-flagged vessel was named and handed over at Yizheng in Jiangsu province on October 10, 2026, and began her first export loading operation that same day. She is operated by China Merchants RoRo.     Design work was undertaken by Finnish naval architecture firm Deltamarin in compliance with Lloyd’s Register class requirements.    

CMES said the 7,800CEU series offers broader berth compatibility and more flexible route scheduling compared to very large Ro-Ro vessels. The company presents the ships as part of a fleet that mixes vessel sizes with coordinated trunk and feeder services for automotive exports.
