SHANGHAI, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Anji Ansheng, China's domestically built ocean-going car carrier and the world's largest such carrier in terms of capacity, set sail on its maiden voyage to Europe on Thursday evening, carrying approximately 7,000 China-made vehicles.
The departure from Shanghai marks a milestone achievement, surpassing a record set just weeks earlier by BYD Shenzhen, which is a domestically built car carrier from the major Chinese automaker BYD. That vessel had previously held the title of the world's largest car carrier in operation.
