AtoB@C Shipping, a subsidiary of ESL Shipping, has taken delivery of Stellamar, the second in the series of twelve plug-in hybrid general cargo vessels.
The vessels will have a cargo carrying capacity of 88,000 m3, and will incorporate environmental technology developed through 12 years of Solvang's ECO LPG Carrier programme.
