On May 16, United Heavy Lift (UHL) announced that it has ordered two additional F900 Eco-Lifter multi-purpose heavy lift vessels in Hudong-Zhonghua, which are scheduled to be delivered between 2023 and 2024.
“One of our goals is to reduce emissions from our own operations and help our clients achieve their decarbonization goals. Sustainability is an integral part of how UHL operates.Key to this change is to build and maintain one of the most modern and fuel-efficient MPP heavy lift fleets in the market. We are phasing out all UHL 800 P-type vessels and replacing them with fuel-efficient modern tonnage. Our vision is to become a sustainability leader in the heavy lift industry.” says Andreas Rolner, managing director of United Heavy Lift.
UHL operates one of the youngest and most fuel-efficient MPP heavy lift fleets on the market, including 17 F900 Eco-Lifter vessels to take delivery between 2019 and 2022. The 17 ships are owned by CSSC Shipping, of which 12 were built by Hudong Zhonghua and the other 5 were built by Huangpu Wenchong.
The new and enhanced F900 Eco-Lifter class features high- and low-pressure SCR catalysts to meet IMO Tier III requirements. With minimized CO2 emissions, the vessel class exceeds latest EEDI benchmarks.
UHL will be taking delivery of the two F900x Eco-Lifter newbuildings at the CSSC shipyard in Hudong, China in 2023 and 2024.
The vessel has a total length of 149.99 meters, a width of 25.6 meters, a depth of 13.5 meters, a design draft of 6.8 meters, a structural draft of 8.3 meters, a service speed of 15.3 knots, a deadweight of 14,100 dwt, equipped with two 450-ton cranes, a total lifting capacity of 900 tons, classified into DNV.
