Keel laying A2B Vision
Today we, A2B-online, celebrated the very special moment of keel laying of our first new-build vessel, the A2B Vision. The keel laying took place at the modern shipyard SEDEF in Tuzla, Turkey. We may call this event very unique as it was the first time in our young existence of the company to see here the start of the first out of two sisters being built. Our clients, our colleagues, our shareholders and not in the last place, our team effort have made this great momentum possible.
The A2B Vision will be an ultra modern hybrid-methanol driven low emission container vessel, especially designed for the shortsea market and able to carry over more than 10 sorts of shortsea containers. Our clients will be able to have their dedicated container transported by A2B-online to and from the United Kingdom.
The A2B Vision is expected to set sail for our trading area by the end of this year. The second ship, the A2B Progress, is expected three months later.
First sailing barge Moerdijk - Duisburg
On February 3, 2025, the moment had finally arrived. Together with our partners WEC Lines, Tailwind Shipping Lines, and Danser Group, we were present for the maiden voyage of the barge ms TRANQUILO to Duisburg. This barge connection is launching as a scheduled service with two departures per week between Moerdijk (CCT) and the Ruhr area (DGT Duisburg Gateway Terminal).
Euphoria
After extensive preparations and a hectic period, it was fantastic to celebrate this wonderful expansion of the Port of Moerdijk as an intermodal hub with all those involved—complete with cake and champagne. At the same time, we toasted to the promising new partnerships that have been established with the launch of this new service. We look forward with confidence to working with these partners in the future!
Thank You
A heartfelt thank you to our partners and everyone involved, especially those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this milestone possible.

New barge service Moerdijk - Duisburg
From the 3rd of February 2025, A2B-online in cooperation with WEC Lines, Tailwind Shipping Lines and Danser Group will offer a new barge connection. This new service, named MDC (Moerdijk – Duisburg Corridor) and operated with the ms TRANQUILO, will start up with 2 sailings per week between Moerdijk (CCT) to Duisburg (Duisburg Gateway Terminal, DGT) and seamlessly connects to existing (short sea) connections from Moerdijk.
’By providing this new service,
we are connecting the ports of Moerdijk and Duisburg
and offer our customers a reliable, sustainable and competitive alternative
to road transport on this important corridor.’
Michael van Maurik
General Manager Transport & Logistics A2B-online Container B.V.
Frequency of departures Moerdijk – Duisburg Corridor
Duisburg is where the new terminal DGT is located from which it operates sustainably. Every Monday afternoon and Wednesday evening there is a barge departure from Moerdijk to this new terminal; every Tuesday and Friday evening the barge departs in the opposite direction. The aim is first to provide a stable service with a reliable scheduled service and to increase the frequency of departures in the future.
Intermodal hub Moerdijk
With this new service, the Ruhr area is now also accessible from Moerdijk via water. Like the recently launched A2B-online Express that operates between Moerdijk and Northern Italy, this new scheduled service also means an expansion of the Port of Moerdijk as an intermodal hub. At the same time, this barge connection also contributes to making the road network on the Moerdijk-Ruhr corridor more sustainable and less congested.

The cooperation in realizing this new barge service offers perspective to intensify the collaborations in the future and further expand the service supply.
