Wallenius Wilhelmsen orders dozen methanol-fuelled newbuilds

Norwegian car carrier operator Wallenius Wilhelmsen has lined up up to 12 9,350 ceu vessels for construction in China which will be capable of running on methanol and ammonia-ready.

The move, which will see the newbuild class be named “The Shaper Class,” is part of Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s goal of achieving a net-zero emissions integrated supply chain service by 2027.
