The PCTC entered the port of Nagoya on 10 May and Yokkaichi on May 15 for the first time.

Wild Rose Leader is the second of four vessels to be delivered from China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Nanjing) Co. Ltd. and was given the name of a flower to reflect NYK’s desire for its LNG-fuelled PCTCs to be an environment-friendly transportation.
