AtoB@C Shipping’s first plug-in hybrid newbuilding Electramar has reached the Baltic Sea marking the end of a long voyage from India around the Cape of Good Hope to Europe. The vessel arrived in Luleå, Sweden on Sunday evening. After discharging in Luleå, the vessel will enter AtoB@C Shipping’s contract traffic in the Baltic Sea and Northern Europe.
“We are extremely happy to finally have the first vessel in its home waters ready to serve our clients. It has been a long journey for the crew and we wish to thank them for their resilience and dedication”, says Commercial Director Frida Rowland.
Electramar is the first vessel in the series of twelve highly energy-efficient plug-in hybrid vessels. These vessels reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50% compared to the present generation of vessels. Shore power connectivity and a large battery installation provide superior fuel efficiency and the possibility to minimise noise and emissions while in port.
