SMC is proud to announce the delivery of the second world’s largest double-ended roll-on roll-off ferry, the “P&O Liberté” at Guangzhou International Shipyard China, on November 29, 2023.
“P&O Liberté” is the sister vessel to “P&O Pioneer” delivered earlier this year at the same shipyard. These state-of-art vessels designed for 1,500 passengers are driven by four Azipods powered by diesel-electric system and batteries. Current capacity of the batteries provides peak shaving function, and “zero emission in port operations”. The two vessels ordered by P&O Ferries, UK, are highly efficient in increasing the number of passengers and reducing the operating turnaround time.
“P&O Liberté” was built under the DNV-GL Classification and will operate under the Cyprus flag registered in Limassol. She will be operated on the Dover – Calais route.
