UECC (United European Car Carriers) has signed a commercial contract with Oversea following the successful results of an operational trial on the Auto Advance vessel. This trial demonstrated that analyzing ship data along with specialized support can provide opportunities to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while improving operational performance.
Details of the Trial and Its Results
During this trial, Oversea's fleet support center was evaluated as a service under real operational conditions. This assessment identified the strengths and weaknesses of the ship's performance using ship data, continuous analysis, and specialized support.

Thomas Thue, CFO of UECC, stated: "UECC believes that increased use of digitalization is the right way to reduce costs and emissions, and we believe that Oversea is the right partner to support this development." In this trial, Oversea closely collaborated with UECC to analyze the ship's performance and identify practical improvement opportunities.
Performance Improvement and Cost Savings
One of the recommendations provided was to optimize the maintenance timing of the ship's hull and propeller. Although there was only a short operational period left until dry-docking, Oversea and UECC achieved improvements that led to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
This trial also identified opportunities for further improving the ship's performance through optimizing the ship's trim. The analyses indicated significant potential in fuel consumption. These improvement opportunities will now be transformed into measurable practical savings through the commercial contract.
Jesper Logdstrøm, CEO of Oversea, said: "UECC has acted as a valuable trial partner for Oversea, and we are very pleased to see the measurable impact of our fleet support services. We now look forward to continuing and expanding our collaboration to support more vessels in the UECC fleet."
This commercial contract is an important endorsement for Oversea's services and demonstrates how specialized expertise, data analysis, and digital tools can jointly create measurable value for customers. This milestone is also another step in Oversea's efforts to support the shipping industry's transition towards more sustainable and efficient operations.
