A2B-online Container achieves first Lean & Green Star
21 January 2026 A2B-online Container B.V. has achieved its first Lean & Green Star, marking an important step in the company’s ongoing sustainability efforts. The Star is awarded to organisations that can demonstrably reduce CO2 emissions within their logistics operations. Laura van Marrewijk (project manager Lean & Green NL) visited Moerdijk last week to celebrate this achievement with us and to give a presentation on the Lean & Green programme and the results we have achieved so far. The presentation was followed by the official awarding of the certificate.
About Lean & Green
Lean & Green is a recognized CO2 reduction programme for the logistics sector. Participating companies work in a structured and measurable way to lower their environmental impact, with progress acknowledged through a Star system.
The sustainability measures of A2B-online Container B.V.
For A2B-online Container, the first Star confirms that current sustainability measures are delivering results.
These include:
- investments in a more energy-efficient fleet,
- the use of multimodal transport as a lower-emission alternative,
- optimization of fuel consumption
- emissions in daily operations,
- driver training,
- and the use of shore power in ports (scheduled Q3 2026).
First Lean & Green Star first stap
A2B-online will continue to build on this foundation and is currently developing an organisation-wide green strategy to further define and quantify its sustainability objectives.
Leon Pronk, Compliance Manager at A2B-online:
“Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy. By keeping it manageable and taking a step-by-step approach, we can achieve real and measurable progress.”

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!
