This year’s awards reaffirm U-Ming’s long-standing commitment to sustainable development and further solidify the company’s leadership in the maritime industry’s sustainability transformation. In response to rapidly evolving international maritime regulations and increasing market uncertainties, U-Ming continues to focus on net-zero transition and nature-positive actions. The company’s Very Large Ore Carrier (VLOC) Grand Pioneer has been equipped with Anemoi Rotor Sails, while the Ultramax vessel Asian Progress has begun trial use of B24 biofuel—milestones that demonstrate U-Ming’s climate leadership in driving net-zero pathways for the shipping sector.

Creating a sustainable and inclusive workplace is one of U-Ming’s core values. From recruitment and work environment enhancements to employee well-being and retirement planning, the company embeds diversity, equity, and inclusion into all aspects of employee care. Initiatives include ergonomically designed office furniture, employee assistance programs, and retirement planning support. U-Ming also promotes cross-generational collaboration and knowledge transfer through knowledge-sharing platforms and cross-functional projects. These continuous efforts have earned U-Ming the Workplace Well-being Award—a remarkable achievement for its first participation in this TCSA category. The company will continue enhancing its welfare policies to cultivate a more resilient and supportive working environment.

As seamless communication between shore-based and seafaring personnel becomes increasingly critical, data-driven decision-making has emerged as an indispensable part of corporate development. Since launching its digital transformation in 2016, U-Ming has accelerated its adoption of AI technologies in recent years. Its achievements in digital governance have attracted numerous external organizations seeking benchmarking visits, setting a new standard for technology-driven maritime operations. In light of escalating cybersecurity threats, U-Ming has implemented ISO 27001 certification to strengthen both intelligent operations and information security, ensuring the robust development of its digital ecosystem.

Looking ahead, U-Ming will continue advancing innovation and sustainability strategies, joining hands with global partners to progress toward the 2050 net-zero vision. The company remains committed to building a more valuable, resilient, and sustainable global maritime supply chain, reinforcing its leadership in the industry’s sustainable transformation.
