AtoB@C Shipping, a key player in the maritime sector and part of the esteemed Aspo Group, proudly announces the delivery of its groundbreaking vessel, Electramar. The vessel marks the inauguration of a series of twelve next-generation electric hybrid vessels, showcasing AtoB@C Shipping’s dedication to environmental responsibility and innovation in the shipping industry.
Fueling Sustainability: Electramar boasts highly energy-efficient features, aligning with the global push towards sustainable shipping practices. The vessel is equipped with plug-in hybrid technology that not only enhances fuel efficiency but also significantly reduces CO2 emissions. This marks a substantial leap forward, with a 50% reduction compared to conventional vessels, making Electramar a pioneering force in green shipping.
Beyond the Horizon: Mikki Koskinen, Managing Director of ESL Shipping and Chairman of the Board of AtoB@C Shipping, expresses pride in leading the charge for eco-conscious shipping. “We are proud to be at the forefront of green shipping with these innovative vessels that combine high efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability,” says Koskinen. This move reflects the company’s commitment to becoming a reliable and responsible partner for its customers and stakeholders.
Versatile Cargo Solutions: The vessels in this series are strategically designed to optimize the transportation of various bulk and breakbulk products. With crew accommodation and a bridge positioned at the bow, these vessels provide an extended unobstructed deck. This unique design facilitates the loading of more deck cargo and longer project cargoes compared to the existing vessels in the fleet, ensuring versatility in cargo handling.
Next Stop: Stellamar: Following the delivery of Electramar, the second vessel in the series, Stellamar, was launched on October 1. AtoB@C Shipping plans to sell every alternate vessel in the series to a company established by a pooling investor group. This strategic move positions AtoB@C Shipping as a trailblazer not only in environmental sustainability but also in innovative business partnerships.
Aspo Group’s Vision: Aspo Group, dedicated to sustainable and long-term business operations, emphasizes the value of responsible development. Operating in 18 countries, Aspo Group’s companies aim to lead their respective sectors in sustainability while fostering profitability and growth supported by the right capabilities.
