UECC Pioneers Sustainability in Maritime with New Emissions Methodology and Biofuel Trial
The United European Car Carriers (UECC) has taken significant steps towards sustainability in the maritime industry. The company has adopted a new GHG emissions accounting methodology and is exploring the use of a sustainable biofuel, DSI.100, developed by Act Group.
UECC has adopted a GHG emissions accounting methodology, developed by the Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECG) and Smart Freight Centre. This move aligns with the Ro-Ro GHG Emissions Accounting Guidance, a standard for reporting shipment emissions and transport activity from multimodal transport operators.
The company is also collaborating with Act Group, Lloyd's Register, and Wartsila to test and implement DSI.100, a sustainable biofuel approved for use as a 30% blend component in distillate marine fuels. UECC's three LNG dual-fuel powered vessels will be used for this purpose, expanding European vehicle-forwarding services while reducing emissions.
DSI.100 offers substantial 'well-to-wake' emissions reductions of 90% compared to conventional maritime fuels. UECC recommends precautionary measures in bunker procurement to ensure clarity on blend components and adherence to established biograde fuel standards.
UECC's adoption of the new GHG emissions accounting methodology and exploration of DSI.100 biofuel demonstrate the company's commitment to sustainability. These initiatives align with the Global Maritime Forum's efforts to reduce emissions in the shipping industry.
