Maximar Joins AtoB@C Shipping’s Hybrid Fleet

AtoB@C Shipping continues its commitment to fleet renewal and sustainability with the delivery of the Maximar, its fifth plug-in hybrid vessel. The ship was delivered on December 20 in Goa, India, as part of an ambitious program to modernize the fleet.

Progress in the Fleet Renewal Program

The delivery of Maximar follows the launch of Terramar on December 3, 2024, which is scheduled for delivery in early 2025. With twelve vessels ordered from Chowgule & Company, AtoB@C Shipping is nearing the halfway point of its program, with one vessel expected each quarter until 2026.
