UHL Receives first of 8 F900 Eco-Lifters Newbuildings

Today, United Heavy Lift (UHL) has received the first in a series of eight state-of-the-art F900 Eco-Lifter newbuildings, MV UHL Faith.

UHL is taking delivery of the newbuilding MV UHL Faith at the CSSC shipyard in Hudong, China. “We affirm our company’s commitment to contributing to an eco-friendly shipping industry by investing in fuel-efficient tonnage. We look forward to taking delivery of six identical newbuildings in 2021 and two in early 2022.” says Mr. Rolner, senior advisor and founder of the United Group.

Once the new-building programme is completed, UHL will service its clients with a fleet of seventeen F900 Eco-Lifter vessels, representing one of the most modern, versatile, and homogeneous heavy lift fleet in the market.

According to UHL, the F900 Eco-Lifter vessels are the most fuel-efficient heavy lift vessels in service. “The carbon footprint of the F900 class is 30-50% less compared to the existing heavy lift fleet in the market.” states Mr. Bonnesen, managing director of UHL.The new vessels offer superior intake and crane capacity to cater to the needs of a wide range of industry clients and cargos.” he adds.

MV UHL Faith will start her maiden voyage towards Europe, where she is expected to arrive in Hamburg, Germany in February.

“We would like to thank CSSC Leasing, China, for their great support in securing the F 900 vessels in a fourteen-year time charter to UHL.” Mr. Rolner notes. “We are well prepared for the next big step on our company’s exciting journey.” he concludes.
