Global NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) CargoGulf responds to its strong growth in the United Kingdom
The freshly inked deal between CargoGulf and Kestrel Liner Agencies marks the beginning of twice-weekly sailings of a liner service from London Gateway and Southampton to all major ports in the Arabian Gulf, complementing CargoGulf’s liner service from Europe which started in April 2018 and has since seen steady growth from all ports of loading.
Kestrel Liner Agencies is the UK’s largest liner agency. This partnership enables CargoGulf to draw on its core capabilities and in-depth experience to offer customers in the UK the efficiency of a single provider to meet all their container shipping needs to the Middle East. The two companies are known for their operational excellence, trustworthiness and dedication to providing consistent high-quality service.
“Twice-weekly departures from the London Gateway and Southampton enable us to present our unique customer-centric footprint on this niche trade,” commented Bryn Kerr, Commercial Director, Kestrel Liner Agencies.
Hans-Henrik Nielsen, CargoGulf’s Global Director, remarked that Kestrel’s strong presence and excellent track record as a reliable and commercially astute shipping company is a perfect fit with CargoGulf’s profile in the Middle East trades.
“Our clients depend on us for the enhanced service levels, rapid turnaround, efficient communication, fast documentation and no-nonsense business that come from being small and nimble and service-orientated. We look forward to building on that with Kestrel in the UK,” he added.
CargoGulf has a strong track record in providing shipping services across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia with 2-3 sailings weekly from each origin. Established in 1985, it is a global ocean cargo carrier operating with its own fleet of containers, enabling time and cost efficiencies for customers across diverse sectors, from FMCG to chemicals and electrical goods.
Kestrel Liner Agencies, now in operation for a quarter of a century, has its head office in Stansted, UK.
