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.
