The two declared options are part of the four previously announced options. According to Wallenius Wilhemsen delivery is expected in H2 2028. As part of the agreement, Wallenius Wilhelmsen will continue to hold options for two more vessels declarable by H2 2025. In addition, the company intends to upsize two additional vessels from 9,300CEU to 11,700 CEU. This will bring the total of upsized Shaper vessels to eight. The cost of the two optional vessels and the upsizing of the two of the vessels on order will be in line with the previous order of Shaper class vessels. Exercising our options and upsizing further Shaper class vessels fit seamlessly with Wallenius Wilhelmsen's net-zero ambition. The vessels are prepared for net-zero and future fuels from day one and will reduce fuel consumption and emissions considerably. ...said Xavier Leroi VP & COO Shipping Services, Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
