Rottneros Partners with AtoB@C Shipping for Sustainable Transport
Rottneros Expands Partnership with AtoB@C Shipping
Rottneros, a leading producer of pulp and molded fiber sourced from sustainable forests, is excited to announce the extension of its partnership with AtoB@C Shipping. This collaboration marks a significant step toward achieving more sustainable transport practices, utilizing a new plug-in hybrid vessel designed to enhance environmental efficiency.
Sustainability at the Core of Partnership
With this long-term agreement, AtoB@C Shipping is set to introduce a hybrid vessel that can cut CO2 emissions by nearly 50% per ton-mile compared to the vessel currently used on the same routes. This initiative reflects Rottneros' commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting cleaner shipping methods.
The Role of Hybrid Vessels
The introduction of hybrid vessels is a game-changer for the shipping industry. These vessels, powered by a combination of traditional fuel and electric energy, promise to deliver substantial emission reductions. Magnus Malmborg, Supply Chain Manager at Rottneros AB, expressed his enthusiasm about this collaboration by stating, "We have been working closely with AtoB@C Shipping for over a decade, and we are thrilled to continue our partnership with a focus on sustainability. Their tailored vessel solutions exemplify innovation in maritime transport, leading toward a more sustainable future."
Features of the New Vessel
A significant aspect of this contract includes retrofitting one of AtoB@C Shipping's new vessels with a crane. This self-loading and discharging vessel is crucial for operations at Rottneros' Vallvik port, as well as their Norwegian port where crane capacity is limited. The enhanced functionality allows for quicker loading processes in Baltic ports, which are vital for sourcing raw materials efficiently.
Benefits of Enhanced Shipping Solutions
The transformation brought by these new hybrid vessels extends beyond emission reductions. Frida Rowland, the Commercial Director of AtoB@C Shipping, shared insights on the benefits, stating, "We are pleased to enhance our services to Rottneros, ensuring consistent, safe, and sustainable deliveries moving forward. Our energy-efficient vessels bring higher capacity and lower emissions, essential for today’s environmentally conscious market. Our team has always been dedicated to Rottneros, and we look forward to continuing our successful collaboration."
Growing Commitment to Sustainable Practices
This initiative aligns perfectly with Rottneros' dedication to sustainability. As a company, Rottneros aims not only to produce high-quality pulp and fiber products but to do so while minimizing environmental impact. Their partnership with AtoB@C Shipping underscores the vital role that innovation and collaboration play in shaping a sustainable future in the shipping and forestry industries.
