The Fennoscandian-Japanese project for near real-time UT1-observations with e-VLBI is a collaboration between the VLBI research groups at the telescopes Onsala (Sweden), Mets¨hovi a (Finland), Kashima (Japan) and Tsukuba (Japan). Several UT1-sessions were observed during 2007 and the e-VLBI data technology was applied to send in real-time the Fennoscandian data to software correlators in Japan where the data were correlated with the Japanese data in near real-time. The final UT1 estimates were available in the best cases already within 30 minutes after the end of a one hour long observing session. The latency of the UT1 measurement could thus be improved dramatically compared to the regular Intensive sessions (INT) of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS). The accuracy of the derived UT1 values was confirmed to be as accurate as the combined solution of International Earth Rotation Service (IERS).
