Four Wilh. Wilhelmsen ro-ro’s to recycling in China

Wilh. Wilhelmsen has sold four of its car carriers to China for recycling. Since the market for vehicle carriers collapsed in 2008, the ships have been surplus. The ships are the Tampere (built in 1979 as Barber Nara), Tapiola (built in 1978 as Bongabilla), Toba (built in 1979) and Tourcoing (built in 1978). Two of the Singapore-flagged vessels were laid up at Lyngdal, Norway, from April 2009 to April 2010.
