Höegh Autoliners has joined the World Shipping Council (WSC), strengthening the Council’s representation of the global liner shipping industry, including the vehicle carrier segment.
“We are pleased to welcome Höegh Autoliners to the World Shipping Council,” said Joe Kramek, President and CEO of WSC. “Vehicle carriers are a vital part of liner shipping and global trade. Höegh Autoliners brings valuable expertise as we engage with policymakers on safety, sustainability and global regulation.”
Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners, said the membership reflects the company’s commitment to shaping effective global shipping policy. “Through our Aurora Class newbuild program, we have invested decisively in a commercially viable, cleaner future. As trade patterns evolve and operating conditions become more complex, liner shipping needs globally aligned policies. Joining WSC allows us to work closely with peers and policymakers to support competitiveness, sustainability and resilient supply chains.”
Liner shipping carries around two-thirds of the value of global trade each year. WSC represents more than 90% of global liner shipping capacity across container, vehicle carrier and roll-on/roll-off services.
Through its members, WSC works with governments and international organizations to promote safe, secure and environmentally sustainable shipping worldwide.
