The Geely JISU Fortune, New RoRo Ship from Chinese Automaker, Promises to Revolutionize Vehicle Transport with LNG Technology and Focus on Global Expansion, Departing from the Port of Suzhou.

The Chinese automaker Geely Holding celebrated an important milestone. It launched its first roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ship, the Geely JISU Fortune. The vessel, operated by JISU Logistics, runs on liquefied natural gas (LNG). The new ship from China has a capacity of 7,000 CEU (car equivalent units). The debut took place on May 22, 2025, in China.

The ship was built at the local shipyard CIMC Raffles. Its official inauguration occurred at the Taicang Port Area, in the Port of Suzhou, China. This event marks a significant step for Geely. The launch of the Geely JISU Fortune strengthens the company’s logistics infrastructure.

The Inaugural Voyage of the New Ship from China

After the ceremony, the Geely JISU Fortune departed from the Port of Taicang. It began its inaugural voyage carrying 5,000 vehicles. The destinations are important European markets. They include the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, and others. This new ship from China allows Geely to send vehicles from its portfolio. Brands like Geely Auto, Lynk & Co, Zeekr, and others will be transported.

The vessel has a total length of 199.9 meters. Its width is 38 meters. The design draft reaches 8.6 meters. The design speed is 19 knots. The ship features a 12-deck car deck. There are 8 fixed decks and 4 lifting decks. The JISU Fortune is equipped with two sets of type C LNG storage tanks of 2,000 m³. Powered by LNG fuel, it significantly reduces emissions and energy consumption. Its flexible fuel options, good route adaptability, and low energy consumption per unit reflect the industry shift. The sector is seeking larger, greener, and smarter RoRos.

Geely Strengthens Global Presence with Its Own Fleet

This voyage represents a significant step in the company’s international expansion strategy. Geely can now ship vehicles to customers worldwide. “The official launch of the Geely JISU Fortune strengthens Geely Automobile’s global logistics network,” said Geely. The company added that the initiative “increases export efficiency and enhances brand competitiveness in the international market.” The ship will primarily serve the export transportation of Geely and its affiliated brands. It will cover major markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. This will ensure the delivery of products to global consumers more efficiently and sustainably.

Growth of China’s Ship Fleet

China is experiencing significant expansion in its domestic transport vehicle fleet. This movement is driven by the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) exports. The demands of the automotive industry are also a key factor. The expansion of vehicle transport in the country is a strategic move. The goal is to increase logistical efficiency. There is also a focus on reducing costs and ensuring greater control over its export processes. The introduction of this ship from China by Geely is a clear example of this trend.
