The group companies took delivery of three newbuilding in the first quarter. None of the three pure car and truck carriers - Tosca, Morning Calypso and Morning Classic - were for WWASA’s account. Tosca commenced service for WWL and the other two for EUKOR.
The remaining newbuilding programme at the end of the quarter for the group companies included seven vessels (48 150 CEUs) to be delivered in 2013-2014, equalling 16% of the world car carrier orderbook measured in CEUs.
None of the vessels are for WWASA’s own account.

Newbuildings ordered after the end of Q1
WWASA has signed a letter of intent with Hyundai Heavy Industries, Korea, to build two Post Panamax vessels to be delivered in 2014 and 2015. The letter includes an option to build two additional vessels. The highly efficient vessels are wider than a typical pure truck and car carrier and will have a capacity equivalent to 7 930 CEUs.
