Ro-ro shipping group Höegh Autoliners has joined the World Shipping Council (WSC) as a member.
Andreas Enger, ceo of Höegh Autoliners, said: “As trade patterns shift and the operating environment becomes more complex, liner shipping needs policies that work globally. Joining the WSC reflects our commitment to working with peers and policymakers to help shape practical global regulatory frameworks that support both economic competitiveness and long-term sustainability, while strengthening the resilience of the supply chains we all rely on.”
He added that through its investment in the Aurora-class newbuilding programme, Höegh Autoliners has positioned itself as an industry leader in the next chapter of zero-emission deepsea shipping.
Joe Kramek, WSC president and ceo, said: “Vehicle carriers are a core part of liner shipping that move global trade. Höegh Autoliners brings valuable expertise and perspective as we work with policymakers on safety, sustainability and effective global regulation.”
HLPFI reported in September that Höegh Autoliners had placed an order for ammonia-burning Everllence two-stroke engines for its Aurora-class PCTCs.
