The company today
Atlanship operational areas include South America, Europe, the United States, Japan and Korea.
In 2011, the Croatian shipyard Brodosplit, in the Adriatic port of Split, delivered the biggest ever orange juice carrier to Atlanship SA. The Orange Star is 190 metres long and 32 wide, and has a capacity of 35,750 tonnes.[3] This giant juice tanker is the replacement vessel for the old Orange Star which was in service from 1975 to 2010, and then sold for scrap in India.[4][5]
