SUARDIAZ has augmented its vehicle logistics capabilities by integrating the RS Atlantico into its fleet. This vessel is a pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), capable of transporting 5,500 cars. The addition is a component of a larger €360 million investment strategy overseen by CEO Juan Riva, which focuses on expanding the company's shipping, infrastructure, and integrated logistics operations globally.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, the introduction of this new LNG-powered PCTC signifies increased capacity for vehicle shipments, potentially easing pressure on Ro-Ro space. The use of LNG also aligns with growing sustainability demands, which could be a factor for shippers looking to reduce their supply chain's carbon footprint. This investment suggests SUARDIAZ is committed to modernizing its fleet and services, which may lead to more reliable and environmentally friendly options for automotive logistics.
