Wallenius Wilhelmsen: Signing of shipbuilding contracts and securing four new options
Wallenius Wilhelmsen has today signed the shipbuilding contracts for the
recently declared options for four 9,300 CEU vessels at China Merchants Jinling
Shipyard Co., Ltd.
In connection with the contract signing, Wallenius Wilhelmsen has been awarded
four additional options at the shipyard. The new optional vessels have earlier
delivery slots compared to the options already held, providing further
flexibility in delivery timing. Consequently, Wallenius Wilhelmsen now has firm
contracts for eight new vessels with delivery from mid-2026 onwards, and eight
optional vessels.
The company has not made any decision regarding whether to declare any
additional optional vessels, and the four new options do not necessarily
represent an increased ambition for the current newbuilding programme.
