| Wallenius Wilhelmsen wins contract | Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) has won a five-year contract with Jaguar Land Rover to ship its vehicles from the United Kingdom to North America and Oceania. The contract will see WWL shipping upwards of 45,000 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles in 2010 from Southampton to the following ports: • Baltimore, Brunswick, Ga.; and Port Hueneme, Calif., in the United States. • Halifax, Canada. • Fremantle, Melbourne and Port Kembla, Australia. • Auckland, New Zealand. The company will also provide terminal services for receiving all Jaguar and Land Rover models in Southampton, one of WWL’s key hub ports in Europe. To reduce environmental impact, the companies will use rail to move the Land Rover Freelander and Jaguar XK, XF and XJ models to Southampton. Additionally, the company will use space it has charted on ACL vessels to ship Land Rover Freelander models from Liverpool, close to JLR’s Halewood manufacturing plant, to Baltimore. Pre-delivery and inspection work will also be undertaken by WWL at its vehicle processing centers in Brunswick and Port Hueneme for Jaguar and Land Rover models destined for the U.S. East and West coasts. | 05/02/10 09:34 | |
