Wallenius Marine appointed ship manager for another PCTC following successful PORGY project

Following the successful completion of a project with vessel PORGY, Wallenius Marine has been appointed as the ship manager for its sister vessel, vessel BESS.

The new assignment encompasses both project management for a significant upgrade and ongoing ship management. Wallenius Marine’s Singapore-based team will oversee the work, which is scheduled 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 3 years. By leveraging the expertise within our organization, we can seamlessly integrate new vessels into our ship management,” stated Henrik Hammarberg, Head of Global Ship Management at Wallenius Marine.

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