Another incredible event in Seattle last week! UWL/Swire hosted our 3rd Annual Sun Chief Maritime Mixer, where we engaged with industry leaders, importers, and exporters alike, collaborating on how we can continue to fill industry gaps and improve the future of supply chains. A standout moment was showcasing the MV Suva Chief, which made its journey from Vietnam powered by B24 Biofuel - achieving a 15% reduction in carbon emissions! https://lnkd.in/ggf3YcY2

Celebrating Three Years of Disruption with Sun Chief Last week, we marked the third anniversary of our Sun Chief service—a milestone that represents not just a success, but a revolution in our industry. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all our customers who joined us in the celebration, and to those who have been with us on this journey. Your support has been instrumental in driving the innovation that defines Sun Chief. From the beginning, our mission was to disrupt the norm. Born out of necessity during the COVID era, Sun Chief was designed to serve an underserved tradelane with a fresh, reliable approach. As tariffs in China shifted the landscape, we seized the opportunity to offer a new standard of service. Here’s what makes Sun Chief stand out: - 18 days transit from Vietnam to Seattle - 97+% schedule reliability - Sustainability: First biofuel trial in the books - No blank sailings and guaranteed equipment availability - In-house warehousing and transloading via our own assets - White-glove customer service Thanks to your continued partnership, we’re on the brink of transitioning Sun Chief to a weekly service. I’m excited to see how much more we’ll achieve by 2025! Here's to many more years of innovation and success. UWL Chris Krawczyk Sal Romana Kiera Conlan Jane Colazzo *repost with better video

We're excited to highlight the successful trial of our sustainable biofuel program on the Sun Chief Express service in collaboration with Swire Shipping. The vessel, MV Suva Chief, was bunkered in Hong Kong with B24 biofuel, a blend of sustainable biodiesel from waste and conventional fuels, and arrived in Seattle last week! On the success of the trial, Duncan Wright, President of UWL, stated, "Partnering with Swire Shipping on the Sun Chief Express allows us to offer our customers not only speed and efficiency but also a commitment to sustainability. The biofuel trial marks a significant step forward in our efforts to support Swire’s decarbonization goals and bring customers an option to advance their carbon reduction strategies.” Interested in learning more about our biofuel program?
