Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) has signed a three-year warehousing and distribution service agreement for eastern and central Saudi Arabia with Alcatel Lucent. The contract requires 5500 square meters of open and closed storage with distribution of materials for mobile telecommunications signal relay stations across eastern Saudi Arabia.  This entails storage and distribution of out-of-gauge masts plus the delicate handling of sensitive and high-value electric housing units and associated components. WSS Saudi won this contract against leading international and domestic service providers based on us being able to provide a flexible and highly responsive service offering covering all areas of the storage and distribution cycle.

WSS has been trading in Saudi Arabia for over 30 years. Wilhelmsen Ships Service is involved in a number of ongoing major infrastructure projects such as a cement plant relocation to Rabigh, Manifa causeway construction, as well as the commercially vital Ras Al Zour port construction.
