A vessel chartered by UECC has taken on a biofuel bunker blend for the first time in the company's history.

"We are proud to partner with GoodFuels and NYK to bring this innovative and environmentally friendly solution to our customers.
"By bunkering biofuel for the first time on a UECC time-chartered vessel, we demonstrate our unwavering commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and providing cleaner transportation options."
