A2B-online, a European shortsea container carrier, has ordered the construction of two 650 teu eco-design containerships at Sedef Shipyard.
The vessels are expected to enter service by the end of 2024, operating between Moerdijk in the Netherlands and Immingham, UK.
The new units have been designed with sustainability in mind and will be equipped with the latest technologies to reduce CO2 emissions significantly by up to 95%.
The vessels will have a multi-fuel methanol propulsion system, shore power and battery capacity to operate emission-free during port and inland water operations. A2B-online has developed the vessels together with Hamburg-based design and engineering company Technolog Services. The key feature of the newbuilds will be their optimised efficiency.
