A2B-online adds ship “A2B Proud” to fleet
Since this month, A2B-online has been using the ship “A2B Proud” for container transport to and from Great Britain. The ship (Sietas type 151) was purchased 2 months ago and for her first sailing by Ship Management, A2B-online’s own shipping company, fully adapted to the wishes and requirements of A2B-online.
With this expansion of its fleet, A2B-online now has 7 identical ships
A conscious choice explains Michael van Keulen, Operations Director A2B-online container BV
With the naming of its ships, A2B-online wants to show who it is and what it stands for as a company. After the Spirit, Energy, Leader, independent, Ambition, Comfort and Future, there is now an A2B online ship with the name ‘A2B Proud’. Ger Quist, director of Ship Management, states that A2B-online can rightly be proud to add another ship to the fleet. A2B-online’s ambition for the future is to make maximum use of the ‘A2B Proud’ and the other 6 ships.

Transport to the UK during the summer of 2023?
Roadworks at Haringvlietbrug and Heinenoordtunnel During the months of June, July, and August 2023, maintenance will be carried out on the Haringvlietbrug and Heinenoordtunnel. During these works, the A29, which is an important access road to the Port of Rotterdam, will be closed. This will result in increased traffic pressure on other routes such as the A59, A17, and A16 towards Rotterdam during this period.
