In particular, for vessel owners and operators in the Middle East, where GAC has a proud history as a trusted provider of quality shipping services.
"We are looking forward to fully integrating our business within the GAC Group for the benefit of all of our customers, taking full advantage of Dubai's strengths as a strategic hub for the shipping industry."
The promotion of Andy Boichat to Senior Bunker Trader in the London office was also confirmed, with Browne adding that the UK office will continue to expand in partnership with GAC Shipping UK Ltd. to offer an integrated procurement solution to existing oil & gas, tanker and dry bulk customers.
