Wallenius Marine receives new ship management assignment

After completing a project with m/v PORGY, Wallenius Marine has been appointed as the ship manager for its sister vessel, m/v BESS.

The new assignment includes project management for a major upgrade as well as ongoing ship management. The work will be led by Wallenius Marine's Singapore-based team and is planned to begin in June 2025 at the IMC shipyard in Zhoushan, China.

“With BESS, we now have ship management assignments for 33 vessels, which is a doubling of operational vessels in about three years,” says Henrik Hammarberg (pictured), Head of Global Ship Management at Wallenius Marine. “By leveraging the expertise within our organisation, we can seamlessly integrate new vessels into our ship management.”

BESS is a PCTC vessel (Pure Car and Truck Carrier) with a capacity of 6,400 CEU (Car Equivalent Units), built in 2010 by Shin Kurushima Toyohashi Shipbuilding in Toyohashi, Japan. The vessel is now registered under the Panama flag and measures 199 mettes in length and 32 metres in width. It will be owned by Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
