📬 Want to stay updated on the latest news, changes, and what’s happening with us? In this month’s newsletter, our CCO Pia Synnerman addresses the importance of resilient supply chains in a volatile world.   Resilient supply chains are more important than ever as disruptions in supply chains can have far-reaching impacts, affecting everything from the availability of essential commodities to the stability of markets. 🌍   Leveraging technology and innovative solutions in collaboration with our customers is key to ensuring resilient supply chains, as is investing in sustainable practices.   We have already started on this journey! Did you know that 16-18% of our total volume this year has been transported with our Reduced Carbon Service using B30 biofuel? This is thanks to our customers’ commitment to investing in more sustainable transport solutions!   👉 Sign up for our newsletter and receive the latest updates directly in your inbox: https://lnkd.in/dDDv62fJ

🚢 Q3 Highlights: growth, progress, and future focus   We proudly announce our second-best quarter with an adjusted EBITDA of USD 503 million! Our Shipping and Government segments saw strong growth. We’re making good progress on contract renewals and we expect to announce further contracts before 2024 comes to a close. We constantly evaluate renewals or replacements to our chartered fleet to adjust to changes in customer demand, reduce emissions, and improve fuel economy.    Despite some shifts in the auto and heavy equipment markets, demand across our services is high, and we’re confident that the EBITDA for 2024 will be somewhat better than 2023.    🎥 Watch the video for a quick Q3 summary and our future outlook! 📄 Read the full Q3 2024 report here: https://lnkd.in/duPPHU87

🌎 Thank you Breakbulk Americas! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting all of our customers last week in Houston, Texas, to talk about their breakbulk needs and our sustainable solutions. As Dan Cipolli, Senior Manager of Breakbulk Sales, aptly described it: this year’s conference was "fantastic.” It provided a valuable platform to discuss with our customers how the four new and larger Shaper Class vessels will play a key role in delivering net-zero logistics services, which we aim to implement by 2027.🚢 We also took the opportunity to demonstrate how our reduced carbon freight service, through the use of B30 biofuel, can help our customers reduce their scope 3 emissions and contribute to a greener global supply chain. 🌱 Despite the capacity challenges RoRo operators have faced recently, it was important for us to emphasize that the breakbulk segment remains a priority for us, and we are fully committed to supporting our customers in this area. 🤝 #WalleniusWilhelmsen #shipping #breakbulk #sustainability #logistics
