Achieving the highest green ranking
United European Car Carriers (UECC) has again earned Bremenports' “Green Focus Award for Cleanest Vessel”, with its multi-fuel LNG battery hybrid “PCTC Auto Advance”, recognised as the most eco-friendly ship calling at the German ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven in 2023.
The aptly named vessel achieved the highest green ranking with an Environmental Ship Index (ESI) score of 80.1 following ten calls at the port of Bremerhaven last year to secure the prestigious prize, demonstrating UECC’s advances in sustainability achieved with investments in green newbuilds.
This is the third time that the European shortsea ro-ro operator has won the award after its dual-fuel LNG car carrier “Auto Energy” gained the earlier Greenports award both in 2018 and 2022, when the company also earned the accolade for the cleanest fleet. (cj)
