For the third consecutive year, U-MING has responded to the United Nations World Oceans Day on June 8. From June 6 to 12, 2025, the U-MING Corporate Sustainability Committee hosted an Ocean Knowledge Challenge to celebrate the occasion. This year’s activity was inspired by the UN-designated theme, “Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us”, and invited all employees to explore the deep connection between the ocean, our industry, and daily life.

The challenge focused on the relationship between the shipping industry, natural capital and ecosystem services, highlighting how maritime operations rely on healthy ocean systems. Through this interactive initiative, employees were encouraged to reflect on ocean-related environmental issues and connect them with their personal experiences and professional roles.

To promote broad participation, all employees who completed the challenge were entered into a lucky draw for a chance to win attractive prizes. In the end, more than half of U-MING’s workforce enthusiastically joined the event.
