World’s largest car carrier ship delivered ahead of Maiden Voyage

The BYD Shenzhen, the world’s largest car carrier ship to date, was delivered in east China’s Jiangsu Province on Tuesday. The ship can ferry up to 9,200 vehicles, around 100 more than the world’s previous largest automobile cargo ship, the Hoegh Aurora. BYD has been steadily building up its fleet of ro-ro ships as part of its global expansion strategy.  

The BYD Shenzhen is scheduled to set sail from Jiangsu’s Taicang Port to Brazil in the coming days, helping to transport more cars to the key Latin American market as the demand for Chinese-made electric vehicles continues to rise worldwide.
