Höegh’s new flagship arrives in Antwerp port
One of the world’s largest RoRo vessels designed for the transport of cars arrived this week at the Port of Amsterdam. The Höegh Tracer is the third in a series of vessels the shipping company Höegh Autoliners will be launching as part of its ‘New Horizon’ design line this year. With a deck area of 71,400 square metres and a carrying capacity of 8,500 cars and trucks, the Höegh Tracer is one of the world’s largest ro-ro ships designed to carry car equivalent units. Anthony van der Hoest, Cluster Manager Logistics at Port of Amsterdam commented: “We are proud to welcome Höegh’s new flagship in our port. Apart from being the largest of its kind, it also consumes less fuel than comparable ships due to its special design. An added benefit is that the New Horizon series of vessels emits around 50% less carbon than the standard RoRo ships. So the arrival of this ship is consistent with our objective of becoming a cleaner port.” http://www.handyshippingguide.com/shipping-news/one-of-the-largest-roro-car-carrying-ships-appears-in-home-waters_7147
