The G4 (Generation 4) vessels will be the five largest conros in the world, and will replace ACL's existing fleet of G3 conros operating in the company's transatlantic service.
The all-new design by International Maritime Advisors has been adapted by Knud E Hansen to meet ACL's requirement and will be bigger, faster, greener and more efficient than their predecessors.
The G4's will have a container capacity of 3,800 teu plus 28,900 square meters of ro-ro space, with a car capacity of 1,307 vehicles. Speed will be increased by 10%, yet fuel consumption per teu will be reduced by 50%. All five vessels will be delivered in 2015.
