AtoB@C Shipping has today 17 September taken delivery of Aquamar, the fourth plug-in hybrid newbuilding within a single year, showcasing the company's commitment to modernising its operations and reducing its environmental impact.
Aquamar is designed with hybrid propulsion and shore power connectivity, aligning with the latest advancements in maritime technology. With a deadweight tonnage of 5,350 and ice class certification, the vessel is equipped for efficient and sustainable operations. Integrating battery technology allows for emission-free and quiet port visits, significantly decreasing CO2 emissions by nearly 50% compared to the current generation of vessels.
The shipyard launched the fifth vessel, Maximar, on 5 September and outfitting of the vessel continues ahead of delivery later this year.
AtoB@C Shipping has ordered twelve 5,350 dwt plug-in hybrid vessels from Chowgule & Company. One vessel will be delivered every quarter until the autumn of 2026.
More information on the vessels is available on our website.
