Sallaum Lines has taken delivery of ‘Ocean Legacy’, the latest Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) to join its Ocean Class fleet, one month after putting ‘Ocean Explorer’ into service.
The arrival of this next-generation vessel underlines the pace of the company’s Ocean class programme and is said to reflect a clear strategic focus on modern tonnage, improved efficiency, and lower-impact maritime operations. Constructed at China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Jiangsu), Ocean Legacy measures approximately 199.9m in length and 37.7m in breadth, with a car-carrying capacity of 7,400 units distributed across 13 cargo decks. The vessel is equipped with LNG storage capacity ranging between 36 and 37.8 tons, ensuring extended endurance and reduced emissions during long-haul voyages.
With sustainability at its core, the vessel integrates contemporary LNG dual-fuel propulsion and energy-efficient design solutions that go well beyond regulatory requirements. These technologies enable a significant reduction in GHG emissions and other air pollutants, while enhancing operational reliability and fuel flexibility. By adopting these advanced systems, Sallaum Lines considers itself at the forefront of turning environmental ambition into measurable action, reinforcing its role in supporting the maritime industry’s transition toward lower-carbon, future-ready ro-ro transportation.
Sami Sallaum, Chairman, Sallaum Lines, said: “The addition of Ocean Legacy marks a practical step in strengthening our fleet and improving its environmental performance. This delivery reflects our ongoing investment in modern vessels designed to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency. It also supports our objective of providing dependable shipping services while adapting to evolving regulatory and industry requirements.”
Together with Ocean Breeze and Ocean Explorer, the Ocean Legacy is said to embody the next generation of eco-efficient PCTCs, integrating optimised hull forms, advanced automation, and flexible cargo configurations to enhance turnaround efficiency and operational performance.
