UHL modernising its fleet
United Heavy Lift (UHL) is currently phasing out all UHL 800 P-type vessels and replacing them with fuel-efficient modern tonnage.
Andreas Rolner, managing director of United Heavy Lift, pointed out that between 2019 and 2022, UHL took delivery of seventeen new F900 Eco-Lifters newbuildings, which are already raising the standard for eco-friendly breakbulk and heavy lift ocean transport.
With a fleet of over 20 vessels, UHL has relatively full order books for the coming years. “UHL has ordered two additional Eco-Lifter newbuildings,” Rolner adds. The new and enhanced F900 Eco-Lifter class features SCR catalysts to meet IMO Tier III requirements.
With minimised CO2 emissions, the vessel class exceeds latest EEDI benchmarks. UHL will be taking delivery of the two newbuildings at the CSSC shipyard in Hudong, China, in 2023 and 2024. (sh)
