GAC India has opened a new office in Pipavav to cater to the needs of
the growing number of vessels calling at the port and principals using
it as a base for operations in the Mumbai High oil field, off the
country's west coast.
With this expansion, the company said it has a total of 27 offices in 22 locations across India. The new office at the Gujurati port is fully licensed, equipped and manned to provide a range of ship agency services and to handle cargo shipments, spare parts, customs clearance, and much more. Previously, its Jamnager office covered the operations at Pipavav, but growing numbers of ships calling at both ports led to the opening of the new office.
Primarily a bulk cargo port, Pipavav has diversified with the addition of a container terminal handling exports from Delhi and North India, and the LPG Terminal serving Mumbai High oil field.
India managing director Paul Haegeman said: "With the opening of this new branch, we are now set to respond quickly and efficiently to the rising demand at the port. In particular, we are ready with our range of support solutions for the oil industry."
