United Heavy Lift Adds Eleven Ships to Its Fleet
Hamburg-based multipurpose shipping company United Heavy Lift GmbH (UHL) has taken over a heavy lift fleet of nine Zeamarine eco-friendly F900 newbuilds and purchased an additional two 12,000 dwt vessels.
The F900 ships in question are UHL Falcon, UHL Flash, UHL Fortune, UHL Future, UHL Fame, UHL Fast, UHL Focus, UHL Frontier and UHL Fusion, according to the company s fleet data.
The nine vessels were reportedly chartered to Zeamarine under a leasing deal with CSSC Shipping but they will now work for UHL.
"Our mission is to expand our company s position as front-runners for an eco-friendly heavy lift shipping industry," Lars Rolner, founder of UHL, explained.
"The fleet of nine newbuilding F900 vessels is a perfect match for our sustainability policy… The carbon emission of the eco-friendly F900 vessels is 30- 50% lower compared to the existing heavy lift fleet in the market."
According to Rolner, the company s current newbuilding program focuses on "advanced and most modern" propulsion systems, in line with the UHL s strategy aimed at reducing its carbon footprint.
The nine vessels have a crane capacity of 900 million tons, a hold of 105.45 meters x 20 meters, and a deck of 125 meters x 25 meters.
What is more, the company revealed it bought two 2010-built multipurpose vessels, Zea Mahaweli and Zea Kelani, that would be renamed Veronica and Valentina, respectively. Both units will be entering into the West Africa service UHL is operating together with its partner Marguesa.
UHL plans to further expand its heavy-lift fleet in February by acquiring one more vessel named Spring.
"The past half year, we have expanded our market presence by establishing offices in Kuala Lumpur and Bergen, Tokyo and Houston will be following in February and March," UHL informed.
"The expansion is made in a joint venture with Ocean 7 and the offices will be operating under the name United O7."
Germany s United Group comprises three closely linked companies - United Heavy Lift (UHL), United Wind Logistics (UWL) and United Engineering Solutions (UES).

Tallink to Make Silja Europa More Eco Friendly
Tallink Grupp s vessel Silja Europa will set sail to Turku Repair Yard in Naantali, Finland, on January 26, for scheduled maintenance and planned renewal works that would make the ship more environmentally friendly.
The 1993-built vessel will stay in Turku Repair Yard for two weeks, returning to the Tallinn-Helsinki route on February 9.
During the scheduled docking, the vessel will undergo considerable renovation of several key passenger areas.
On the technical side - like all Tallink s vessels undergoing scheduled dockings in 2020 - preparations will be made to the vessel for the use of high-voltage shore connection during its port stays. Other important technical improvements to the vessel will include the installation of the ballast water treatment system to better address the environmental challenges of shipping and enhance the protection of the local marine environment.
As part of the planned maintenance works, the vessel s provision cooling system as well as the ship’s automation and power management systems will be replaced.
Commenting on the Silja Europa planned works, captain Tarvi-Carlos Tuulik, Tallink Grupp s Head of Ship Management, said: „Silja Europa is the largest cruise ferry operating on the Baltic Sea and is very popular among our customers for both regular day cruises as well as special cruises offered over the spring and summer period. Therefore, it is very important that we regularly modernise the vessel."
„Increased energy efficiency and reduction of emissions are a top priority for Tallink fleet. Silja Europa will return to the route fully ready for the high season, (and) will have the latest technology on board."
Silja Europa is the fourth Tallink Grupp s vessel to go to dock in the first quarter of 2020.
Tallink implements a continuous ship renovation program, updating and refreshing all of its ships during a five-year period. In the last five years alone, the company has invested nearly EUR 90 million (USD 99.4 million) into upgrading its vessels.
Last week, Tallink Grupp adopted a group-wide corporate social responsibility strategy and initial sustainable operations goals. According to the new CSR strategy, the company will focus its sustainability efforts and activities on four large areas: Looking after Climate, Looking after the Sea, Looking after Resources and Looking after People. Under each of the larger focus areas, the company will have more specific activities and targets, such as the reduction of emissions, reduction of the use of plastics and others.
Referring to the strategy and goals, Paavo Nõgene, CEO of Tallink Grupp, said:
"We have just entered the decisive decade of action for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The IMO’s official world maritime theme for the year 2020 is also ‘Sustainable shipping for a sustainable planet’, so there is an increased focus on CSR issues all around us."
"There is no time to waste if we want to make a tangible difference and it is up to every single one of us - as individuals and as companies and organisations - to take practical steps to achieve the positive impact necessary."
Tallink Grupp currently owns 14 vessels and operates seven ferry routes under the brand names of Tallink and Silja Line.

Port of Hamburg Will Not Lose Cargo due to Liner Service Changes
Germany s Port of Hamburg said it is not expecting a reduction in container throughput caused by liner service changes announced by Ocean Alliance and Maersk.
Starting from April 2020, the Ocean Alliance s NEU 5 service handled by Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg (CTH) is being transferred to Antwerp. This service will be run by the Ocean Alliance partner CMA CGM as FAL 3 with an approximate annual volume of 150,000 TEU.
Going forward, the entire container volume carried until now to and from Hamburg by this service will be handled by the five Ocean Alliance liner services continuing to call in Hamburg. These are the full-container services NEU 2, NEU 3, NEU 4, NEU 6 and NEU 7.
"In the course of optimizing annual planning, the resulting transfer of one of the six services creates no overall problem either for the shippers or the Port of Hamburg. The container cargo will continue to be handled in its entirety by these services in Hamburg," Axel Mattern, Joint CEO of Port of Hamburg Marketing, explained.
"In the shipping industry such liner service adjustments are absolutely normal when the shipping alliances develop new products and present no cause for concern. Hamburg is not losing any cargo because of it," Mattern added.
CMA CGM, one of the biggest Port of Hamburg customers in container transport with a total of 15 full-container and feeder services, said that the container cargo handled until now by the abovementioned service in Hamburg will be distributed among the other five Asia-Europe services continuing to call Hamburg.
Furthermore, Danish shipping major Maersk has also reported a change to its sailing schedule. The ME 1 service that until now has weekly served India via Dubai and Saudi-Arabia with the German ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven will, as of February, temporarily not be calling Hamburg.
Container cargo previously carried on ME 1 will continue to be handled on Maersk s AE 7 service to and from Hamburg.
"We assume that with Hamburg served by the AE 7 service, the majority of containers from the ME 1 service will continue to be handled in Hamburg after the fairway adjustment," Ingo Egloff, who is Axel Mattern s Joint CEO at Port of Hamburg Marketing, said.
"The 12 mega-containerships deployed in the AE 7 service with a capacity of between 16,500 and 19,500 TEU offer the necessary transport capacity," he continued.
After suspending the ME 1 service, Maersk will be calling Hamburg with a total of five container liner services.
