The LNG (liquefied natural gas) dual-fuel RORO vessel Glovis Selene made its maiden call at the Hambantota International Port (HIP) last week, unloading 627 CEUs (Car Equivalent Units) and loading 934 CEUs bound for the Persian Gulf.
This marks the second time a dual-fuel LNG vessel has docked at HIP, highlighting the port’s capacity to accommodate next-generation vessels.
The Glovis Selene, measuring 200 metres in length, 38 metres in width, and a draft of 8.6 metres, features 12 vehicle stowage decks with a carrying capacity of 7000 CEU’s.
Commissioned in September 2024, this vessel is part of the latest addition to the LNG dual-fuel fleet of South Korean shipping giant Hyundai Glovis, ranked amongst the 3 Largest RORO Shipping Companies in 2023 by Daily Logistics. Apart from being a key RORO volume contributor to Sri Lanka overall, Glovis plays a vital role in sustaining high volumes at HIP.
