Seven sustainable shipping vessels to be chartered by UPM
Pulp and paper will be shipped by the UPM group in seven new state-of-the-art liquid-natural-gas fuelled vessels as part of a long- term charter deal with the Dutch Spliethoff Group. The vessels will be chartered
through Finnish Bore Ltd and Dutch Wijnne Barends, both affiliates of Spliethoff, and provide sustainable sea transportation for UPM in Europe, says the paper products and bioenergy group based in Finland. Lauri Rikala, director of global
break bulk shipping at UPM Logistics, commented: “This
September/October 2019
arrangement is a consistent step in UPM’s logistics strategy. It will safeguard a sustainable, competitive and reliable shipping solution for our businesses and customers in the long term.” Bore Ltd will build three RoLo
vessels for transporting UPM’s paper products and Wijnne Barends four LoLo vessels for transporting the company’s pulp and other forest products. The vessels will be built in China and are scheduled to be delivered in 2021 and 2022. When taken into service, the vessels will employ approximately 60 maritime
transportation staff. All vessels are time chartered
by UPM and hence will be fully operated by the company. They will be ice-strengthened and meet the latest technological, operational and environmental standards. “The vessels will be fuelled with liquid natural gas which results in a significant – approximately 25 per cent – reduction of carbon dioxide emissions compared with commonly used marine gas oil. In addition, nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides emissions will decrease approximately 85 per
