Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics pays fine in South Africa for price fixing
Norway’s Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) has agreed to pay a R95.7m ($7.5m) fine in South Africa for contravening the republic’s Competition Act.
WWL was one of a number of car carrier firms investigated by South Africa’s Competition Commission for price fixing collectively, the latest in a series of worldwide clampdowns on price fixing in the car carrying sector.
WWL was found to have colluded with other companies on 11 tenders to shift cars to and from South Africa.
