Vessel Description

The Polaris Highway is a Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) operated by Eukor Car Carriers Inc., one of the world's leading RoRo shipping companies. Built in 2016 at Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea, the vessel is purpose-designed for the efficient transportation of finished automobiles, trucks, and high/heavy cargo across international trade routes.

With a capacity of approximately 7,000 Car Equivalent Units (CEU), the vessel operates multiple decks with adjustable car deck systems to accommodate a wide variety of vehicle types and dimensions. The Polaris Highway flies the Panamanian flag and is registered with IMO number 9728095.

Eukor Car Carriers, in which Wallenius Wilhelmsen holds a significant stake, primarily serves the Korean automotive export market, transporting vehicles for manufacturers such as Hyundai and Kia to global markets. The Polaris Highway is a modern unit in Eukor's fleet, reflecting the company's investment in high-capacity, efficient PCTC tonnage during the mid-2010s shipbuilding cycle.

Note: Some technical specifications (particularly CEU capacity and engine details) are based on class-typical data for vessels of this type and year from HHI. Users are advised to verify against official Lloyd's Register or classification society records for critical operations.
