Gulf Marine to Lubricate the World’s First First EV-Safety-Compliant PCTC
21 Nov 2025
Gulf Marine is proud to be the chosen lubricant partner for NOCC PACIFIC – the world’s first LNG dual-fuel pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) designed in full compliance with the upcoming IMO-driven EV safety requirements, to be enforced from 2026.
Delivered in November 2025 from CIMC Raffles shipyard in China to Norwegian Car Carriers AS (NOCC), this 7,000-CEU LNG dual-fuel newbuild is leading the industry toward safer and more sustainable shipping.
Supporting such a pioneering vessel requires more than just high-performance lubricants. It demands a supply partner who truly understands the demands of cutting-edge newbuild projects.
That is where Gulf Marine’s strength in China makes the difference:

- Dedicated stock hubs – strategically located warehouses ensures delivery options that guarantee on-time, in-full
- Shipyard collaboration – technical and supply team collaborate closely with shipyard
- 24/7 responsiveness – knowledgeable and dedicated teams supporting you 24/7
