AtoB@C Shipping, a subsidiary of ESL Shipping, has taken delivery of Ventumar, the eighth vessel in its pioneering series of twelve plug-in hybrid coasters. The Green Coaster series represents a major leap forward in energy-efficient maritime transport. Each 5,400 dwt vessel is equipped with advanced battery technology and shore-side electricity solutions, enabling emission-free and quiet port operations.
"Ventumar is another strong step towards our vision of sustainable shortsea shipping. These vessels are not only technologically advanced but also a clear signal to our customers and partners that sustainability and operational excellence can go hand in hand", says Commercial Director Frida Rowland.
The ninth vessel of the series, Fleximar, was launched at the beginning of September ahead of planned delivery later this year. AtoB@C Shipping has ordered twelve 5,400 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 AtoB@C Shipping's website.
