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 Oslo-listed company has signed a letter of intent with Jinling Shipyard Jiangsu for delivery of four firm ships from mid-2026, with options for an additional eight units.

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.
