Wallenius Wilhelmsen pens 20-year lease for Brunswick Port
Norwegian car carrier operator Wallenius Wilhelmsen has signed a 20-year lease agreement with the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) for Brunswick Port, with options of up to 30 years.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s will expand and enhance Brunswick Port’s existing Colonel’s Island Terminal and auto vehicle processing centre. Another addition will be the new equipment processing centre that can store, customize, assemble, exercise, and distribute machinery on behalf of equipment OEMs and their dealers.
“Our expansion and new long-term commitment in Brunswick strengthen our position as the preferred supply chain partner to North American automotive, equipment and breakbulk customers,” said Lasse Kristoffersen, CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
The upgraded facilities are purpose-built to allow for the completion, storage, inspection, and distribution of products without the need to dray to an off-site location.
“We’re excited to welcome the additional business to Colonel’s Island Terminal from Wallenius Wilhelmsen, where we are developing the nation’s premier gateway for all carriers handling autos and heavy machinery,” added GPA president and CEO Griff Lynch.
