Dual-fuel LNG carrier joins fleet
UECC has added the dual-fuel LNG car carrier "Blue Aspire" to its eco-friendly fleet, boosting capacity on its European north-south trading route from mid-December.
Delivered by CIMC Raffles Offshore Engineering, the 200 m pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) can transport nearly 7,000 vehicles, including high & heavy cargoes. Operating alongside five other vessels, "Blue Aspire" will serve ports in Turkey, Germany, and Belgium every 4.5 days. This addition increases UECC’s fleet to 15 PCTCs, including five LNG-fuelled ships.
UECC’s COO Per Christian Mørk emphasised the company’s commitment to sustainability and mentioned plans to adopt liquefied biomethane (LBM) to further reduce fleet emissions. (pb)
