The launch of A2B Vision, a historic moment for A2B-online
Yes! Today, 23 December 2025, was finally the day: the launch of the A2B Vision. An unforgettable moment that the entire team has been eagerly awaiting and a huge milestone in the history of A2B-online. We will share today’s film footage soon!
Discover the A2B Vision
The A2B Vision was built at the SEDEF shipyard in Tuzla, Turkiye, and is expected to set sail in mid-2026, quickly followed by the A2B Progress. Read more about the construction of our new vessels >
Greener, larger and more versatile
With these new ships, we are fully committed to sustainability and flexibility:
- Sustainable innovation: Equipped with dual fuel methanol engines, gate rudders and waste heat recovery systems to transport goods as greenly as possible.
- Capacity: With a capacity of 650 TEU and space for more than 20 different container types (including 45ft, 30ft and various tank containers), we offer the flexibility that the short sea market demands.
Building the future together
Finally, a word about the people behind the A2B Vision! This achievement would not have been possible without the trust of our customers and shareholders, and the tireless dedication of our colleagues and the professionals at the shipyard. Thanks to them, we are ending the year on a high note. We can’t wait to officially take the A2B Vision into service!
12,5 Jaar A2B-online Container B.V.
16th December 2025: A milestone at Sea: We have cause for celebration: 12.5 Years of A2B-online Container B.V. This week marks exactly 12.5 years since our first containers were shipped. The crossing of 16 containers on the Veritas H, sailing from Moerdijk to Immingham, signaled the start of our first liner service and the beginning of an adventure.
A Brief Retrospect
In June 2013, a highly motivated team—Gerard de Groot, Michael van Keulen, André Mast, Anouk van Hoven, Chris Zwarts, and Patrick van der Smissen—started with just one vessel, 16 containers, and a single scheduled service. Leveraging a vast network, years of experience, boundless ambition, and immense energy, this team, in close collaboration with key partners CCT (Combined Cargo Terminals B.V.) and ABP (Associated British Ports) quickly achieved unprecedented growth. That growth has led to what we are today: an organisation with over 40 colleagues, 7 ships of our own, 2,600 45-ft containers, 40 weekly sailings and more than 200,000 shipments.
Our Gratitude 🙏🏼
Our sincere thanks go out to our customers, partners, suppliers, business relations and (former) colleagues. Our current status as a leading player is a direct result of the trust placed in us and often many years of fruitful and rewarding collaborations.
Looking Ahead
So much has changed in 12.5 years—and yet, not really. Our original core motivation in 2013 was to offer our clients stable services through a flexible organisation built on personal contact and smart IT solutions. These core values and drivers continue to be our guiding principle for both today and tomorrow! We look forward with great confidence, alongside our partners, to achieving the next milestones!
A2B-online starts collaboration with Kuijpers Group
28 October 2025 – Last week, Jaco van Eijk (A2B-online Equipment B.V.) and Marc Stormbroek (Transport Planner A2B-online Container B.V.) visited Kuijpers Group in Rotterdam. The reason: the delivery and commissioning of fifteen chassis supplied by Kuijpers to A2B-online.
Warm welcome
Ron de Dreu (Operational Director) and Marc van Wezenberg (Commercial / Operational) welcomed them, and under the watchful eye of the four men, one chassis after another was collected in a short time to start transporting the first containers for A2B-online’s customers.
About these “45ft only” chassis
This is the first time A2B-online has opted for chassis that are only suitable for transporting 45ft containers. Jaco:
“We don’t have 20ft or 40ft containers, so there’s no need for us to choose chassis with options we won’t use anyway. By choosing ‘45ft only’, we now have straightforward units that are simpler and more user-friendly, less maintenance- and damage-sensitive, and also lighter, which results in a higher payload.”
About this partnership
- “We like to work with our suppliers as partners, including when it comes to our assets. Kuijpers is such a supplier: proactive, flexible, and with a long-term vision. Because there were already connections from a different capacity, it felt right immediately and we were able to move quickly. We are happy with this collaboration!”
Jaco van Eijk - “We can switch quickly; if we don’t have it, then we buy it!”
Ron de Dreu - “If it feels right, we’re happy to seal the deal quickly. What it’s about doesn’t really matter then.”
