Wallenius Wilhelmsen firms up order for four 9,300 CEU methanol-capable and ammonia-ready PCTC’s
Ro-roWallenius Wilhelmsen announced that the previous LOI for four (+8 options) 9,300 CEU methanol-capable and ammonia-ready PCTC’s has been firmed up with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard.
The contract for these Deltamarin-designed Shaper Class vessels was signed 24 October, with the four vessels to be delivered from mid-2026 and onwards.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen beliefs that methanol is the fastest way to reach net-zero emission. As such, the choices going forward reflect that. The vessels have been ordered to use alternative fuel sources, such as methanol, upon delivery. They will also be ammonia-ready and will be able to be converted as soon as ammonia becomes available in a safe and secure way.
