The Norwegian-Swedish company has placed an order for two additional 11,700-CEU pure car and truck carriers (PCTC) at China Merchants Jingling Shipyard, plus decided to up-scale two earlier orders from 9,300 to 11,700 CEUs.

As such, Wallenius Wilhelmsen will have 14 Shaper class vessels on order, eight 11,700 and six of the 9,300-CEU range.

The company also holds options for two more vessels (declarable by H2 2025).

A few weeks ago, Wallenius Wilhelmsen shared its first order of the enlarged, 14 instead of 12 decks, dual-fuel (methanol-capable) PCTCs.
