2 Lean & Green stars for A2B-online!
During a festive ceremony at the headquarters in Hazerswoude-Dorp, the first 2 Lean & Green stars were awarded to us on Friday, November 17, by Minne Jansen and Jan van Nunen of Lean & Green Netherlands.
Recognition for our sustainability initiatives!
CO2 reduction
Based on demonstrable CO2 reduction, A2B-online has proven to be well on track to meet the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. In the past year, in-depth analyses have been carried out on historical data, clearly showing that the sustainability measures taken in recent years have borne fruit. Examples include optimizing transport planning to reduce the number of empty kilometers and training drivers in ‘eco-driving.’

“It’s great to see that the measures we, as an organisation, have taken in recent years translate into this recognition. This demonstrates that growth ambitions and sustainability go hand in hand. In addition, the management has expressed the ambition to further reduce our carbon footprint in the coming years, making it likely that it won’t stop at these 2 stars.”

Celebration of 10th anniversary of A2B-online Container B.V.
On Friday, 8 September 2023 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of A2B-online Container B.V. With a mixed delegation of A2B-online colleagues present, we welcomed more than 100 partners in Lage Zwaluwe aboard the fully electric-powered ship Z9 to celebrate this milestone during a cruise around Moerdijk and its surroundings of several hours. A visual impression of this dag with a golden lining!

A2B-online is pleased to announce the newbuild of two environmentally friendly container vessels.
A2B-online reveals ‘orange is the new green’ and enthusiastically announces the new construction of two sustainable vessels of 650 TEU. The new vessels have been designed with sustainability in mind and will be equipped with the latest technologies to reduce CO2 emissions significantly by up to 95%. The vessels will have a multi-fuel methanol propulsion system, shore power and battery capacity to operate emission free during port and inland water operations.
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.
New trailers
Since this month, the good relationship with our customer Jiffy is also reflected in our 3 newest trailers with advertising for Jiffy Products International B.V. on the door. Our sales manager Sabrina Waterreus was present when the trailers were commissioned (on the photo with Peter van Dieën, Global Logistics Manager at Jiffy).
Sabrina was told by the forwarding office that the cooperation is very nice and that contact with our Customer Service is good and smooth. That makes us happy! Thanks to all our contacts at Jiffy and of course also to our own toppers of the CS team!
Thank you for the trust and the cooperation in 2022!
Our sales managers surprised many visited trailer and container customers this month with a huge Christmas stollen, a small token of appreciation for the trust and the pleasant cooperation in the past year. This thanks also applies to our partners, suppliers and other relations!
