On 27 June 2025, under clear blue skies, Aasvaer was christened and launched in a special ceremony where the christening was proudly performed by children. Built for Aasen Shipping, Aasvaer is a practical, straightforward, and future-oriented self-discharging general cargo vessel. She is equipped with a large battery pack for peak shaving and is capable of emission-free operations in ports that offer shore power.
