Unifeeder A/S and MPC Container Ships ASA (MPCC) have announced a strategic partnership to collaborate on investments in Energy Efficiency Technology. This partnership aims to promote decarbonisation and efficiency in marine transport, aligning with Unifeeder’s goal of reducing emissions by 47% by 2030 and helping customers accelerate their Scope 3 emissions reductions.
As part of the agreement, Unifeeder and MPCC will jointly invest in efficiency-enhancing retrofits with advanced EET solutions. The investments will be divided among the charterer, Unifeeder, and MPCC, with cost savings from energy efficiency measures shared by both parties. Vessel Performance Solutions ApS (VPS) will monitor and measure efficiency savings using real-time data.
Unifeeder’s Director Group Decarbonisation, Christian Hoepfner, expressed the importance of investing in Energy Efficiency Technologies to create a more sustainable future in maritime transport. The combined investments by Unifeeder and MPCC will focus on various solutions, such as the installation of variable frequency drives and filtering systems, with the potential to reduce emissions by over 10%. Managing Director at MPCC, Philipp Niesing, highlighted the partnership’s goal of driving positive change in the industry by overcoming traditional barriers. In May, Unifeeder expanded its presence in Latin America by opening its first office in Panama City.
