Wallenius Wilhelmsen, the Norwegian-Swedish world leader in Roll-on Roll-off ocean services, logistics management and inland services, has changed its organization to better define its products and services.Three new business units have been created:

- Ocean Services

- Logistics Management

- Inland Services.

"Our new organization will lead to even stronger customer focus in every field of our business. Each business unit will be managed with its own profit and loss responsibility," says Ingar Skaug, CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

"The past few years we have seen a tremendous new business potential in logistics management at the same time as our inland activities have grown. Now we get a strong focus to continue to grow our three core businesses but will also leverage synergies to develop business with global accounts, especially among global manufacturers of vehicles and heavy machinery for construction and agriculture."

The Ocean Services and Logistics Management business units will be run from Wallenius Wilhelmsen's offices in Oslo, Norway. The Inland Services business unit will be run from Wallenius Wilhelmsen's offices in London, UK. Wallenius Wilhelmsen's regional organization with headquarters in the US, Sweden/Belgium, Australia and Japan is not subject to change.

Wallenius Wilhelmsen is the world's largest provider of vehicle and Roll-On Roll-off transportation services. The company provides logistics management solutions, combining deep-sea and short-sea shipping with inland activities such as vehicle processing (pre-delivery services and inspections) and transportation. Wallenius Wilhelmsen transports 1.8 million vehicles by sea and 1.4 million vehicles by land annually.
