About Shipping 

Wilh. Wilhelmsen (WW) conducts advanced industrial shipping activities and is market leader for the transport of rolling cargo.

Together with its partners, the group controls around 145 car and roll-on, roll-off carriers operating in a global network of trades.

WWs customers include the world’s leading manufacturers of cars as well as construction and agricultural machinery. On an annual basis (2006), WW’s shipping companies transport almost five million cars by sea and three million by land. In addition come high and heavy and non-containerized cargoes.

The group both owns and charters ships, which are deployed in the fleets operated by subsidiaries Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, EUKOR Car Carriers and American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier.

To secure further new and modern tonnage, WW and its partners will continue to be active in the new building market. More than forty new car carriers are due for delivery from June 2007 to 2011, including seven for WW. One vessel will be delivered from Ray Shipping, two from Daewoo and four from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

WW both owns and charters tonnage. The three large operating companies controls some 150 ships.
