Nordisk ULDs are the lightest weight in the industry, and will save the airline, which is based in the Fujian Province of China, a minimum 350 tons of fuel a year and reduce CO2 emissions by more than 1,200 tons.

“We are excited to receive orders from Xiamen Airlines to support the operation of its first 787 Dreamliner by providing significant fuel savings and environmental benefits,” said Boon Yang Sim, Nordisk's Vice President of Sales and Business Development, Asia Pacific and the People’s Republic of China. “A critical component of Nordisk’s success has been significant investments in research, design and product engineering. We have led the industry in designing the most technologically advanced, lightweight Unit Load Devices that provide operators with high-strength, lower-weight alternatives to traditional ULD products.”

Nordisk’s Lite product line includes the Nordisk UltraLite, the world’s first certified LD3 container with a standard configuration weighing only 55 kg; the Nordisk TwinLite; and the Nordisk AluLite. All offer significant weight and fuel savings.
