Cochin Shipyard Subsidiary Delivers Final Eco-Friendly Vessel Under ₹506 Crore European Export Deal
Marking the successful completion of a premier international export milestone, Udupi Cochin Shipyard Limited (UCSL) has officially handed over the Wilson Eco VI to Norway-based Wilson Ship Management AS. The vessel represents the sixth and final eco-friendly bulk cargo ship in a highly scrutinized, environmentally advanced series. This handover cements UCSL's transition into a highly capable exporter of sustainable, short-sea shipping platforms tailored for rigorous European operations.
