Following a competitive tender process, UK-based timber supplier SCA has awarded Wagenborg Shipping a contract for shipping services, regarding sea traffic volumes of wood, pulp, and paper from the Baltic Sea to the US east coast and multiple destinations in the Mediterranean.
Wagenborg said that its 17,000DWT and 21,000DWT vessels will operate along the service's transatlantic routes while its gearless vessels of up to 14,000 DWT will operate on the service's routes to southern Europe and North Africa.
The contract is a renewal of an existing one between Wagenborg and SCA.
