On September 11, the latest addition to the WALLENIUS SOL fleet was officially named in the Port of Turku, Finland. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The ceremony brought together representatives from WALLENIUS SOL, crew, politicians and representatives of trade and industry.<\/p>\n

FOLLOWING WALLENIUS SOL\u2019S acquisition of British Mann Lines earlier this year, the fleet was further strengthened in June with the addition of a newly constructed vessel. On September 11, South Enabler was formally given its name in a traditional naming ceremony.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, a bottle was ritually broken against the hull, and the vessel and her crew was wished fortune and prosperity across the seas. Appointed as godmother to the South Enabler was Beatrice Erikson, Senior Manager Transhipment Operations at Wallenius Wilhelmsen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis vessel is far from ordinary. She is celebrating innovation, technology, and environmental stewardship. Shipping has always been the lifeline of global trade, connecting people and prosperity across continents. With South Enablers\u2019 modern design, she\u202fwill contribute to reducing emissions and making every voyage more efficient \u2013 showing what progress at sea can look like,\u201d Beatrice Erikson said during her speech. <\/p>\n

Built by Visentini Shipyard and designed by NAOS Ship and Boat Design, South Enabler has been optimised for the routes she will sail and the cargo she will carry. The 203.4-meter-long, ice classed vessel is prepared for methanol propulsion, powered by two 7,200 kW W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 dual-fuel engines, and capable of reaching a top speed of 22 knots.
\nThe vessel handles a wide range of cargoes, including LoLo, RoRo, and high and heavy cargo.<\/p>\n

South Enabler has been operating on the Tilbury\u2013Cuxhaven\u2013Turku\u2013Paldiski\u2013Bremerhaven\u2013Tilbury route since June. Holding the naming ceremony in Turku was a natural choice for both WALLENIUS SOL and the port itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shipping line between Turku and the UK has been going strong since the early seventies. We\u2019re pleased to begin our collaboration with WALLENIUS SOL, and are happy to see the increased capacity brought by South Enabler,\u201d says Erik S\u00f6derholm, Managing Director at Port of Turku.<\/p>\n
