The Port of Manta (Ecuador) received the inaugural call of the Ro-Ro vessel MV Glovis Lander. The ship arrived from Puerto Lázaro Cárdenas (Mexico) at international pier 2 of the Ecuadorian maritime terminal to unload 2,797 vehicles.
Details of the aforementioned vessel were provided on the Port of Manta's social media, stating that "with a length of 230 meters and flying the flag of the Marshall Islands, this car carrier, operated by Hyundai Glovis and incorporated into its fleet in June 2026, is part of the new generation of car carriers designed to respond to the growth of automotive trade."
"The vessel uses a dual propulsion system that utilizes liquefied natural gas and conventional fuel, which allows it to reduce carbon emissions, making it a benchmark for sustainability within the maritime industry," it added.
In this regard, Samuel Franco, Executive Vice President of the Manta Port Terminal, stated that "receiving a vessel of these characteristics demonstrates that the investments made in infrastructure and the experience of our team allow us to respond to the needs of a constantly evolving industry. We are proud to continue generating opportunities for new and larger operations to find a strategic and efficient ally in our port."
Finally, it was communicated that "the arrival of vessels of this magnitude reaffirms the port's capacity to handle increasingly specialized operations and consolidates us as one of the main hubs for automotive logistics in the Pacific."
