Chelsea Logistics and Infrastructure Holdings Corp. (Chelsea) launched the 98-meter “M/V Trans-Asia 20” Bed/Seat Ro-Ro Type Passenger Ferry at a ceremony held at Kegoya Dock Co., Ltd.’s Japan shipyard.  

The ship M/V Trans-Asia 20 (Hull No. S-1190) is scheduled to be delivered in October 2019. It can carry a total of 740 passengers, 22 buses, and 6 trucks, providing better service to Filipinos which is a principal objective of Chelsea. This is the Chelsea Group’s 10th brand new RoPax made in Japan. 

The launch of M/V Trans-Asia 20 coincided with the Keel Laying Ceremony of  the vessel with Hull No. S-1191 which marks the official start of construction of another 98-meter Bed/Seat Ro-Ro Type Passenger Ferry. It has a gross tonnage of 5,100 with carrying capacity similar to M/V Trans-Asia 20 and will be finished and delivered in April 2020.
