WWHI was established in 2011 as a vehicle for investments in activities outside the scope of Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA and Wilhelmsen Maritime Services.

Through the Wilh. Wilhelmsen’s 150 year old history, we have been in the shipping and maritime services segments, and lately in related logistics infrastructure ashore. In the future WWHI will explore new opportunities within the energy-, offshore- and maritime industry.

Currently, the major investment in WWHI is in the Australian logistics provider Qube Logistics Holding Ltd, a public company quoted at the Sydney Stock Exchange. The investment recorded in the third quarter of 2011 a USD 70.4 million gain on sale of the Qube/Kaplan related investments in exchange for 88 million shares in Qube. WWHI is the second largest shareholder in Qube, with approximately 10% of the shares.

“The Qube ownership strengthens our logistics engagement in Australia, being an important market for the WWH group. With Qube continuing to deliver good results and expanding activities, we are pleased to see the restructuring now being completed”, says Nils P Dyvik, chief financial officer in Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding ASA. You can read more about the restructuring of the Wilh. Wilhelmsen group’s logistics investments under Related information.
