Wallenius Wilhelmsen has signed a significant multi-year shipping contract with an unnamed Asian company, described as Korea’s leading construction machinery company.
The new agreement, which has a duration of three years, plus a two-year extension option, is valued at approximately US$ 290m based on expected volumes over the three-year period. The contract commenced in January 2024.
