According to CEO Tomas Dyrbye, the formation of the Safmarine ISC region is a clear indication of how important the Indian sub-continent had become to the company.
This new, separate region within Safmarine will cover India as well as Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Nepal and the Maldives.
The Indian sub-continent and surrounding countries had previously formed part of the Safmarine West and Central Asia region, which included the Arabian Persian Gulf. These countries have now been combined with North African and Levant Countries to serve customers in the newly established Middle East & North Africa (MENA) Region.
