AtoB@C Shipping and Yara International, the world’s leading crop nutrition company and a provider of environmental and agricultural solutions, have extended the existing contract of affreightment until 2033.
The extended contract ensures that AtoB@C Shipping will continue to serve Yara’s factories across Northern Europe, reinforcing the companies’ decades-long partnership.

This collaboration between AtoB@C Shipping and Yara is a testament to the evolving landscape of industrial transport, where sustainability is becoming a key driver of long-term partnerships”, says Frida Rowland, Commercial Director of AtoB@C Shipping.
“AtoB@C Shipping is part of Yara’s Core-Owner group and we are pleased to extend our good cooperation with AtoB@C Shipping and continue working together for long-term solutions to improve efficiency and reduce emissions of our maritime transports which is in line with Yara’s Core-Owner policy”, says Norbert Huys, Senior Manager of Short Sea Chartering at Yara Maritime Logistics.
