Norwegian car carrier owner Wallenius Wilhelmsen is to gauge investor appetite for a bond issue following a loss-making second quarter.

The Oslo-listed company said it has brought in Danske Bank, DNB Markets, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank as joint lead managers.

They will set up fixed-income investor meetings from next Monday.

A four-year bond in Norwegian krone could then be sold, subject to market conditions, Wallenius Wilhelmsen said.
