Wilson confirms eight more vessels and extends newbuilding programme to 14 vessels.

Wilson ASA, a leading European player in the short-sea market, is proud to announce the signing of a significant contract for the construction of eight state-of-the-art 6,300 dwt future-proof newbuildings with a focus on environmental benefits, flexibility, and efficiency. The vessels are designed to contribute in our effort to meet our environmental targets. The order comes in addition to the six 3800 dwt vessels announced in June 2023.

By adding new tonnage Wilson strengthens its position as a modern and responsible player in the maritime industry and is a step in the right direction to further reduce our carbon footprint. The total of 14 newbuildings will be delivered from 1st half of 2025 until 2028, with the 6300 dwt vessels being delivered in direct continuation of the previously announced 3800 dwt vessels. These new, modern vessels will contribute to both growth and fleet renewal of the existing Wilson fleet.

This major investment marks another milestone in Wilson’s commitment to sustainable and efficient maritime transportation and ensures the company's ability to deliver flexible and efficient services to our clients. The newbuildings will also contribute to enhanced operational excellence for the Wilson fleet.
