Safe and cost-effective transportation of chemicals and oil requires an in-depth knowledge of the cargo being handled and the people involved.
Uni-Tankers, a subsidiary of the financially strong family-owned USTC Group (United Shipping and Trading Company Ltd.), has built the expertise to guarantee maximum cargo safety and the reputation of providing high-quality reliable tanker services since 1995.
In 2022, Uni-Tankers updated its brand identity to highlight the company’s commitment to its customers in the shipping industry. “We believe in chemistry in everything we do—both between people but also when transporting cargo,” said Per Ekmann, CEO of Uni-Tankers. “The essence of what we stand for, from strong relationships to market-leading know-how, is now encapsulated in our brand promise: a matter of chemistry.”
As a leading shipping company with 35 oil and chemical tankers, 15 owned and 20 chartered tonnage, Uni-Tankers offers shipping services and solutions to ship owners, investors, brokers and partners. These include chartering and operation of chemical tankers, time-charter arrangements, commercial management, newbuilding projects, joint ventures and general ship brokering.

Every year, Uni-Tankers moves goods vital to everyday life across millions of nautical miles. Their staff is carefully selected and trained to operate with experience and precision, both onshore and at sea, to meet customer requirements as well as national and foreign maritime regulations.
In recent years, the company has steadily grown its presence in Asia. “We recognize the importance of the Asian market and have a focus on serving customers in the region, particularly Japan and Singapore,” explains Ekmann.
“Part of the work we do within the region includes chartering new vessels from Japan and initiatives with shipping companies towards greener efficiency, and decarbonization.”
Uni-Tankers has implemented Frugal fuel-saving systems on selected vessels, resulting in fuel savings of ten percent or more, while the new B30 biofuel blend they tested in 2021 has resulted in a 26% reduction of the vessels’ well-to-take CO2 charge. The company is committed to setting decarbonization targets as part of their ongoing sustainability plan.
“We appreciate the good chemistry of our relations with our clients in Japan and Asia,” concludes Ekmann.
“Our shared values and vision of great potential for the industry have allowed us to work towards common goals with great success.”
