06.11.2024

EMDEN. Swedish shipping company Wallenius Marine christened its new 200-metre car carrier, “Future Way”, at the Emden seaport in September. Based on the Sleipner concept, the vessel is deemed a milestone in sustainable maritime transport between Europe and North America and is the first of two ships to be chartered for Volkswagen Group Logistics. The carrier transports around 4,500 vehicles from Emden to North America per journey. “We’ll probably see the ship in Emden every four to six weeks,” said Manfred de Vries, Managing Director of Autoport Emden.
