Wallenius Wilhelmsen declare options for four additional Shaper Class vessels
Oslo, May 24, 2024 - Wallenius Wilhelmsen today declared options to build four
more 9,300 CEU vessels at China Merchants Jingling Shipyard Co., Ltd. The
declared options are the new options secured on March 25, with earlier delivery
per stock exchange notice on the same date.
The company now holds firm contracts for a total of twelve vessels, with
deliveries starting from mid-2026. Delivery for the latest four vessels will
take place in late 2027/early 2028.
Additionally, we hold options for four more vessels. As communicated earlier,
the company emphasizes that the options secured on March 25 do not necessarily
indicate an increased ambition for the current newbuilding program compared to
what was announced in our initial stock exchange release dated August 15, 2023.
