UAL Alliance has invested in ecological sustainability

We were one of the first companies to commission and build 5 of our own “Eco-Trader” vessels with substantially reduced draft, resulting in efficient fuel consumption. These vessels are easily recognisable by their innovative axe bow.

We have expanded our investment into preserving basic resources such as drinking water with our award winning Ecoaguas Plant.

We have obtained internationally recognised licences to ship and manage hazardous waste from Africa to Europe to have it recycled in certified plants, all in full compliance with the Basel treaty. We provide complete K5 Waste Management for our customers, with certificates documenting the recycling of their waste in full compliance to this treaty.
