“We are pleased to have found in AtoB@C Shipping a shipping company that not only shares our long-term vision but has also provided us with a tangible solution today to begin reducing our emissions immediately,” says Andreas Ukmar, CEO at EFO.
In addition, the companies have agreed to implement Virtual Arrival as a standard operational practice to optimize the speed of the vessels when there is a known delay in port. On average, Virtual Arrival has reduced voyage emissions in AtoB@C Shipping’s traffic by 11% in the voyages it has been applied for.
“We are excited to partner with EFO in advancing greener shipping practices. Renewable fuels are crucial in mitigating shipping emissions,” added Frida Rowland, Commercial Director at AtoB@C Shipping.
So far, two voyages have been performed with 100% renewable fuel under this contract. The state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid vessel Electramar unloaded the second cargo in Oxelösund, Sweden, last week.
