Through continued investment in alternative marine fuels, United European Car Carriers (UECC) informed that last year reduced its CO2 emissions by 29,000mts when compared to conventional marine fuels.
The savings are equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 480,000 tree seedlings, growing for 10 years. In addition, with 2 more multi-fuel LNG Battery Hybrid vessels due this year, UECC’s sustainable logistics solution “will be greener than ever.”
During 2020 UECC along with the marine biofuel company GoodFuels announced a collaboration in order to trial the use of marine biofuel upon ro-ro vessels. In fact, the three-month trial will test 3.000 metric tons of Bio-Fuel Oil (MR1-100) onboard the M/V Autosky vessel carrier.
As UECC informed, M/V Autosky will conduct the trial test of the biofuel oil under its normal route between Zeebrugge, Belgium and Santander, Spain. Through the trials, both sides goal to result a drop of more than 6.500 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
