Danish shipping company Uni-Tankers has expanded its fleet with the addition of a new vessel, the Marex Mia. The ship, which is owned by the company’s Japanese business partner Marex Maritime, was officially named at a ceremony in Japan.
The new vessel has a length of 130 metres and a cargo capacity of 12,500 tons. The company said it has been built with upgrades for improved energy efficiency.
The company noted that the ship was named in honour of Uni-Tankers’ co-owner, Mia Østergaard Rechnitzer.
Rechnitzer commented, "I am very grateful to be part of launching this vessel, which represents yet another important step in Uni-Tankers’ strategy to renew and modernise the fleet."
"With this addition, we reinforce our commitment to reducing our environmental impact through the renewal of our fleet with modern, energy-efficient tonnage," said Per Ekmann, CEO of Uni-Tankers.
The new ship is a sister vessel to the Marex Nina, which was launched last year. The Marex Mia is the third vessel delivered under the partnership between the two companies, with a fourth vessel expected in 2027.
