WALLENIUS WILHELMSEN DROPS MOBILE PORT CALL
Wallenius Wilhelmsen, an ocean carrier of vehicles and project cargo, said it has removed Mobile, Ala., from the North America/Europe leg of its round-the-world service (NH service).
As an alternative, the carrier’s vessels will call at New Orleans, about 150 miles from Mobile.
“As a result of changing cargo patterns in our trade lanes, it is no longer operationally feasible to call at Mobile,” said Gary R. Jones, vice president of operations for Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
