Wallenius Lines has acquired the vessels Don Juan and Turandot, which will now fly the Swedish flag. The acquisition and the Swedish flag will help to further develop Sweden's maritime expertise and increase the availability of vessels that can assist society and the Armed Forces when needed.

Together with the company's six other vessels, the two ships will be important assets in Soya Group's growing commitment to total defense. In a time of changing security and market conditions, access to a national fleet is crucial for maintaining critical transport services in the event of disruptions.

MEETS TODAY'S NEEDS
“These ships still have a cargo capacity that meets today's needs. For us, sustainability is also about utilizing current assets throughout their entire service life, and with the right fuel mix, they can operate for many years to come,” says Erik Nøklebye, CEO of Wallenius Lines.

After docking in early September, Don Juan will enter charter service based in Asia, while Turandot is scheduled to enter service around the turn of the year. With these two additions, Wallenius Lines' fleet now consists of eight vessels.

Ship Management will continue to be provided by Wallenius Marine.
