UECC Boosts North-South Route with BLUE HERITAGE PCTC and New Turkish Port Call

Ro-roUnited European Car Carriers (UECC) is enhancing its North-South trading network in Europe by adding the dual-fuel LNG PCTC BLUE HERITAGE and including a new port call in Yarimca, Turkey. This expansion increases UECC’s fleet to seven vessels on this route, boosting sailing frequency to every 4.5 days and adding capacity for 7,000 cars.

BLUE HERITAGE, like its sister ship BLUE ASPIRE, uses LNG and liquefied biomethane (LBM), significantly cutting CO2 emissions, with UECC’s Sail for Change initiative reducing 107,000 tonnes of emissions last year. The expanded route covers 12 ports, enhancing service regularity and flexibility for customers. UECC’s focus on low-carbon fuels and operational efficiency aligns with green regulations, surpassing Fuel EU Maritime and IMO Carbon Intensity Indicator standards, reducing EU ETS exposure, and supporting customers’ sustainability goals toward net-zero by 2040.
