Unifeeder A/S and MPC Container Ships ASA (MPC) have joined forces to implement advanced Energy Efficiency Technology (EET) in a bid to decarbonise maritime transport. According to a press release from Unifeeder, this initiative aims to significantly reduce emissions and operational costs, aligning with Unifeeder’s target of cutting its emissions by 47% by 2030.
Key Efficiency Technologies and Emission Reduction
Unifeeder and MPC’s joint investments will focus on several innovative solutions, including the installation of variable frequency drives to regulate high-consumption parts and a filtration system to purify lube oil. The combined measures are expected to cut emissions by over 10%. The collaboration highlights the company’s shared goal of enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability within the maritime sector.
Partnerships and Shared Benefits
Under the agreement, both parties will jointly invest in and share the benefits of the EET enhancements. A third-party, Vessel Performance Solutions APS (VPS), will monitor the installation of the technology and measure efficiency savings in real-time, ensuring transparency and shared rewards between the charterer, Unifeeder, and MPC.
Broader Sustainability Initiatives
The joint venture complements Unifeeder’s wider sustainability efforts, which include increasing fuel efficiency and optimizing operations. The company is also working on introducing methanol-powered ships by 2026 and is involved in the Zero Emission Port Alliance (ZEPA), a strategic industry-wide coalition that aims to achieve zero emissions in container handling equipment (CHE) at ports.
