Why in-plant vehicle processing could be your smartest move

It is all about “smooth sailing” in shipping. But what if your vehicles could “sail” smoothly through the entire logistics chain, ensuring efficiency from start to finish? An in-plant processing solution could be the answer to your needs.

When a vehicle leaves the production line, the work doesn’t stop there. Every move between factory and market affects delivery times, quality, and cost.  

By integrating vehicle processing directly within your plant, you can streamline operations, reduce complexity, and keep production running smoothly. 

In-plant processing gives you greater control over post-production logistics. Vehicles move seamlessly from the line through inspection, storage, and dispatch — all within one coordinated flow.  

The result? Fewer handovers, less waiting time, and more efficient use of space and resources. 

With real-time visibility and digital tracking, you gain clear oversight of every vehicle in your compound. Faster dispatches and smarter yard management help minimize dwell time, while consistent, quality-controlled handling ensures vehicles reach customers in perfect condition.

Our in-plant operations teams understand the critical importance of expediting vehicles to market, ensuring dealers receive them as efficiently as possible. Through our people, processes and systems, Wallenius Wilhelmsen delivers on this mission every day in support of our customers
