The Biomar Vessel Delivered in India Reinforces the Company’s Commitment to Sustainability and Energy Efficiency in Short-Distance Navigation in Europe.

A AtoB@C Shipping, a Swedish subsidiary of the Finnish company ESL Shipping, received its seventh new plug-in hybrid vessel. The general cargo vessel, named Biomar, has a deadweight tonnage of 5,400 and was delivered in India on June 16, 2025. The delivery marks another significant step in the company’s journey toward a more sustainable and efficient fleet.

A Milestone in the Journey Toward a Sustainable Fleet

The Biomar ship is the seventh in a series ordered by the company. Its arrival strengthens AtoB@C Shipping’s fleet, which continues to modernize. The previous delivery, of the sixth ship in the series, the Terramar, occurred in mid-March 2025, also in Goa, India.

Commitment to a Greener Future in Shipping

The company celebrates each new addition as a step forward toward its sustainability goals. “We are excited to welcome Biomar to our fleet. With each new vessel, we are building a greener future for short-distance shipping in Europe,” commented Frida Rowland, Commercial Director of AtoB@C Shipping.

The Progress of the Construction of the Twelve Vessels

AtoB@C Shipping has ordered a total of twelve plug-in hybrid vessels from the Indian shipyard Chowgule & Company. As the seventh vessel is delivered, production continues. The construction of the last ship in the series, the Luxomar, began on June 17 with a steel cutting ceremony. Additionally, the eighth vessel, Ventumar, was launched on May 30 and is currently undergoing outfitting, with delivery expected in the third quarter of 2025. Deliveries will occur quarterly until the fall of 2026.

Hybrid Technology for Zero-Emission Port Operations

All twelve vessels in the ice class 1A series are equipped with batteries and shore power connections. This advanced technology allows each hybrid vessel to make port visits without generating emissions and without producing noise, contributing to cleaner and quieter port operations.

Hybrid Technology for Zero-Emission Port Operations

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

A perfect 6 km ring in the far east of Russia intrigues NASA satellites as it appears to be a meteor crater or an extinct volcano, but the agency has already confirmed that it is neither and harbors a much stranger origin beneath the Earth.

Australia positions a barge with 78-meter legs at sea to install ocean sockets connected to tunnels under the seabed to supply a desalination plant that will produce 150 million liters of water per day in Alkimos until 2028.

From a simple approach at the gate to more than R$ 45,000 in donations, the story of a gardener offering volunteer work shows how a well-tended garden can pave the way for food, hope, and an almost finished home for a Brazilian family.

Couple buys 380 seedlings online to create an 80-meter hedge on their property, tests drip irrigation, and begins transforming open area into a green wall at the refuge they are building in Santa Catarina.
