UNITED Arab Shipping
Company (UASC)
has received the 'Green Shipping Award' at the Maritime Standard Awards 2015
ceremony for the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent on account of its
commitment to the environment and its eco-efficient fleet.
This latest
accolade comes after the carrier won the 'Environmental Sustainability Award'
from SeaTrade in early October.
The outstanding
environmental credentials of UASC's newbuilds are demonstrated through their
performance, as carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per TEU of the 18,800-TEU vessels
is 60 per cent lower than a 13,500-TEU ship delivered just three to four years
ago, a company statement said.
"Furthermore,
the company being ranked among the best performing carriers on CO2 emissions in
a recent progress report by Business for Social Responsibility's Clean
Cargo Working Group is further proof that environmental performance is
at the heart of UASC's operations," it said.
In addition
to the recognitions on the environmental front, UASC also received the 'Ship
Owner/Operator of the Year' and 'Shipping Company of the Year' awards
from the Maritime Standard and SeaTrade awards respectively.
