近日，欧洲联合汽车运输公司(UECC)与荷兰船用生物燃料供应商GoodFuels和日本邮船(NYK)开展三方合作，在荷兰的弗利辛根港成功完成可持续生物燃料的交付工作，这是UECC在环境保护和可持续发展领域的又一个重要里程碑。此次交付是为UECC公司的期租船“Emerald Leader”号进行首次生物燃料加注，这进一步巩固了该公司在可持续海运领域的领导地位。与传统化石燃料相比，GoodFuels的生物燃料来源于100%的可再生和可持续原料，不会对粮食生产和森林资源造成负面影响，可减少高达90%的二氧化碳排放。在“Emerald Leader”号运营的东地中海-北欧航线上使用先进的可持续生物燃料，将大大降低UECC公司运营的碳强度，彰显了该公司为客户提供可持续运输解决方案的决心，同时也为减缓全球气候变化做出了贡献。

United European Car Carriers (UECC), the leading provider of sustainable short sea ro-ro transportation in Europe, has successfully completed the delivery of sustainable biofuel in the port of Vlissingen, in collaboration with Dutch biofuel provider GoodFuels and vessel owner NYK, marking another significant milestone in UECC’s commitment to environmental sustainability. This operation marks the first time a UECC time-chartered vessel, m/v Emerald Leader, has been bunkered with biofuel, further solidifying UECC’s position as a leader in sustainable maritime transport. GoodFuels’ biofuel, which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to conventional fossil fuels, is sourced from renewable and sustainable feedstocks that are certified as 100% waste or residue, and do not compete with food production or cause deforestation. The utilisation of advanced sustainable biofuel on the Emerald Leader, which operates on UECC’s North South Trade, connecting the Eastern Mediterranean with Northern Europe, will significantly reduce the carbon intensity of UECC’s operations. This milestone underscores UECC’s determination to provide sustainable transportation solutions to its customers while contributing to the global efforts of mitigating climate change.
