Wallenius Wilhelmsen has clinched a major logistics contract in Australia with a leading automotive manufacturer, expected to bring in revenues of more than $100m.

The Oslo-listed roro and logistics group will provide vehicle processing services across Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth under a three-plus-one-year deal.

Pia Synnerman, chief commercial officer at Wallenius Wilhelmsen, noted the deal provides the customer with better oversight of its logistics while supporting the group’s own growth in Oceania.

The agreement strengthens the company’s position in Oceania, a region it has targeted for growth through integrated shipping and land-based logistics services.

Earlier this year, Wallenius Wilhelmsen completed the sale of Melbourne International RoRo & Auto Terminal (MIRRAT) to Australian Amalgamated Terminals, a subsidiary of Australia’s largest logistics provider Qube, but said it would continue to utilise the terminal for its services.
