Suigang Qiche 01 ("Guangzhou Port Automobile 01") has an LOA of 69.8 metres, a moulded beam of 16 metres, and two decks that can accommodate a total of 220 vehicles.

The newbuild will be operated by Guangzhou Port Holdings Shipping. It will be used to transport newly-built motor vehicles out of the Huadu District, the main production base of the automobile industry in the city of Ghangzhou.
