U-Ming Marine Transport and Asia Cement Corporation collaborate to build eco-friendly and low-carbon cement ships

        On June 19th, Asia Cement Corporation and U-Ming Marine Transport jointly held the inaugural ceremony of the environmentally friendly cement special ship "Asia Cement Corporation No. 9" at Hualien Port. The new ship will be responsible for transporting bulk cement produced by Asia Cement Corporation's Hualien plant to major ports in Taiwan, not only improving the transportation capacity of cement products, but also significantly reducing carbon emissions during navigation, demonstrating U-Ming Marine Transport's strength and achievements in green shipping.

        The "Asia Cement Corporation No. 9" has a length of 114.99 meters, a width of 15.8 meters, and a load capacity of 7750 tons. It is a cement specific ship rebuilt by U-Ming Marine Transport after more than 20 years since the "Asia Cement Corporation No. 6", aiming to replace the retired "Asia Cement Corporation No. 1" ship. The bow of the "Asia Cement Corporation No. 9" adopts an X-Bow streamlined design, which can reduce resistance, and is equipped with FURUNO's advanced navigation system AR Navigation System, providing accurate navigation information. It is also equipped with U-Ming Marine Transport's self-developed FSM (Fleet Safety Management) system, which displays the ship's position and safety warnings in real time. In addition, it adopts Asia Cement Corporation's self-developed electronic control system to enhance automation operation and subsequent maintenance. After the addition of Asia Cement Corporation No. 9, the U-Ming Marine Transport fleet has a total capacity of 72 ships and a total deadweight tonnage of 8.84 million tons.
