AtoB@C Shipping has taken delivery of its latest vessel ‘Terramar’ in Goa, India, which marks the halfway point in the company’s newbuilding programme, ‘Terramar’ being is the sixth in the series of twelve 5,400 dwt plug-in hybrid vessels.
Terramar, like its sister vessels, boasts advanced hybrid propulsion and shore power connectivity. With a deadweight tonnage of 5,400 and an ice class rating 1A, Terramar is engineered for efficient and sustainable year-round operations in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe. The integration of battery technology enables emission-free and quiet port visits, significantly reducing CO2 emissions per cargo unit by nearly 50% compared to the current generation of vessels.
Frida Rowland, Commercial Director and Head of BU Coasters, ESL Shipping and AtoB@C Shipping, said: “The delivery of Terramar is a significant achievement for AtoB@C Shipping as we have reached the halfway point in our newbuilding programme. It reflects the hard work and commitment of our entire team. We are proud to lead the way in sustainable shipping.”
