    The Uyeno Group is, and will continue to be, committed to its societal mission
    We continue to make sincere efforts.
Environmental Initiatives
The Uyeno Group, which has been engaged in energy transportation since its establishment, strongly recognizes the pursuit of environmental conservation and accident-free operations as its social mission, and has long been working together with related companies on improvement measures, especially for environmental issues.
Even in an environment where the shift from fossil fuels to energy is accelerating worldwide with the aim of becoming carbon neutral, our mission and responsibility to support the critical social infrastructure of energy logistics, which is essential to society, will not change.
We will continue to bear our massive responsibility of providing stable supplies of energy while working on research and development aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and converting them to clean energy.
Environmental Initiatives within Shipping
1.Conversion to electric propulsion vessels
Uyeno group has been one of the first to begin efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions through conversion of our fleet of vessels to electric propulsion (EV conversion) since 2007. Electric propulsion vessels greatly reduce petroleum fuel consumption as compared to conventional ships.
2.Improvement of vessel operation efficiency
As environmental preservation has become a bigger social issue, more efforts are needed to improve energy efficiency per cargo volume transported. In other words, simply increase transportation efficiency. The Uyeno Group is reducing the number of voyages by operating larger vessels (with larger delivery capacities) for both petroleum and chemical transport vessels, thereby reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
3.Alternative energy transportation initiatives
As a corporate group whose main business is energy transportation, we are contributing to a carbon-neutral society.
Starting with LNG bunkering, we will actively work towards the transportation of alternative energy sources such as ammonia and hydrogen.
Renewable Energy
Initiatives within the Marine Environment Sector
1.Renewable Energy Business Initiatives
The Uyeno Group has been focussing on and developing solar power generation even before carbon neutrality brought attention to renewable energy.
Ueno Green Solutions began operating in 2012 and to date has expanded to include five power plants in Japan, as well as power plants in the Philippines and Taiwan.
2.Marine Environment Preservation Initiatives
Our Group is also involved in the maritime environment sector.
We help prevent major disasters from occurring in Ise Bay via escort vessel services and cargo handling warning services.
In the event of an emergency, we protect the safety of the sea and the environment by utilizing our disaster prevention vessels and equipment to respond quickly to accidents.
