Wallenius Lines is taking the next step in the development of wind-assisted propulsion by installing two Oceanbird wing sails on the car carrier Way Forward. The installation is planned for 2027 and marks an important milestone in evaluating the technology under commercial operating conditions.

Oceanbird has completed the installation and successful sea trial of its first onboard prototype, Wing560, on Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s 230-metre car carrier Tirranna. The milestone marks an important step in taking wind propulsion from development and testing into commercial operation.

Wallenius Lines’ acquisition of Wallenius SOL has now been approved by the relevant authorities. It was in mid-April that Wallenius Lines announced its intention to acquire SOL Group’s shares in Wallenius SOL. The deal will make Wallenius Lines the sole owner.

Wallenius Lines has entered into an agreement to acquire SOL Group’s shares in Wallenius SOL, thereby becoming the sole owner of the company. The new ownership structure creates long-term stability, clarity and continuity for the continued development of Wallenius SOL as an enabler of sustainable, sea-based infrastructure in Northern Europe.
