Wallenius Wilhelmsen signs deal for up to 12 methanol-fueled newbuilds in China
In Norway, shipping company Wallenius Wilhelmsen said it has signed a letter of intent for four next generation vessels and up to eight optional units of 9,350CEU class methanol dual fuel pure car and truck carriers with Jinling Shipyard.
The first vessels will start being delivered from the second half of 2026, the company said.
“We will continue to deliver great services with a competitive fleet, offering sustainable supply chain services both on land and at sea. We are already partnering with our customers on reducing emissions through biofuel and with the new vessels we can accelerate this towards net-zero. This requires new and more expensive fuels but both we and our customers are committed to secure this as soon as it can be made available,” said Xavier Leroi, EVP & COO Shipping Services at Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
