Breaking News! The First-Ever Energy-Efficient Plug-In Hybrid Vessel Electramar Joined AtoB@C Shipping

Taking delivery of the Electramar has marked a significant milestone for AtoB@C Shipping. The first of more to come, these energy-efficient hybrid vessels promise a bright future ahead.

The spectacular delivery ceremony took place at India’s Chowgule Shipyard on December 15, 2023.

The creativity and innovation behind this 5,400 dwt general cargo vessel is unparalleled. Spanning a length of 90 meters and a width of 16 meters, the Electramar sets new standards in the shipping world. It’s no wonder why this newbuild has been the talk of the town ever since its launch in June.

Electramar leads the way in reducing CO2 emissions, demonstrating an impressive 50% cut compared to the present generation of vessels. Shore power connectivity and a large battery installation provide superior fuel efficiency and the potential to minimize noise and emissions while docked.

ESL Shipping’s Managing Director and AtoB@C Shipping’s Chairman, Mikki Koskinen, couldn’t hide his excitement. The proud leader emphasized the commitment to sustainability and reliability, envisioning a more responsible future for all customers and stakeholders.

Optimized for versatility, the new vessels are poised to transport various bulk and breakbulk products. With ample crew accommodation and a state-of-the art bridge at the bow, these vessels promise bigger, better things for vessel fleets, such as extended loading capacity and the transportation of longer project cargoes.

With the launch of the second vessel in the series, Stellamar, the fleet’s prospects are brighter than ever. The success of the Electramar marks the first step towards safer, more sustainable shipping vessels. Also, the next announcement of the sale of every other vessel in the series is a sure sign that the shipping industry is in for a treat.
