John Felitto, COO Logistics Services at Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Norway’s car carrier operator Wallenius Wilhelmsen expands its logistics services by taking over the terminal operations in Gothenburg, Sweden. The shipping company will take over operations at the port of Gothenburg in February 2026 under a 12-year agreement.
The port of Gothenburg serves as a vital hub connecting the Nordics to key regions including the Far East, North America, Africa, Australia and Northern Europe.
“It amplifies our operational capabilities in the region and enhances our and the port’s ability to provide seamless and efficient logistics solutions,” John Felitto, chief operating officer at Wallenius Wilhelmsen logistics services, said.
As a terminal operator at the Port of Gothenburg, shipping firm Wallenius Wilhelmsen aims to transform the terminal into a “one-stop-shop” for all carriers and customers and to develop a partnership with the port to act as an integrated supply chain partner, the company said in a statement on its website.
“Operating the Gothenburg terminal strengthens our logistics network and is a strategic milestone that supports our vision of sustainable and innovative growth,” Felitto added.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen expects to co-create a hub that will serve the Scandinavian market.
The port provides benefits in the form of additional distribution channels like rail and road, the car carrier operator said, which strengthens its strategic position in the Nordics.
