en.Wedoany.com Reported - Wallenius Wilhelmsen has extended a transport contract with a major European automotive manufacturer, valued at approximately $420 million.

This three-year extension will run from mid-2028 to mid-2031, further expanding the total contract value, which includes approximately $180 million remaining under the existing agreement. Wallenius Wilhelmsen stated that securing this extension in advance provides contract coverage at sustainable rate levels for the next five years.

The extended contract includes requirements for the use of low-emission fuels, a joint initiative by both parties to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The contract value is based on projected shipping volumes during the contract period.

Pia Synnerman, Chief Customer Officer at Wallenius Wilhelmsen, stated that the company will continue to support customers' outbound supply chains and explore further collaboration opportunities across the entire value chain, including potentially expanded logistics scope.

Over the past few years, Wallenius Wilhelmsen has secured several major automotive and equipment transport contracts, including a $190 million renewal contract with a global automotive distributor announced in March, and two extension contracts signed last December with a combined value of nearly $500 million.
