Ultrabulk highlights

Looking back at 2020

Turbulent times with focus on navigating through the COVID-19 pandemic and reducing GHG emissions. The drybulk market in
2020 was difficult to manoeuvre in due to a high degree of unpredictable events.

CSR report 2019

The fragility of the surrounding ecosystems and the potential impact from the operations have long since been acknowledged, and Ultrabulk has taken numerous initiatives aimed towards minimizing the operational footprint on air, sea, and land resources

Getting to Zero Coalition

By joining the Coalition, Ultrabulk and Ultranav have committed to support the development and making the deployment of ZEVs a reality by 2030, whilst also pursuing a full decarbonization of the industry by 2050.
