Emirates Global Aluminium, (EGA) recently signed a volume commitment extension agreement for 2019 with the global shipping company AP Moller–Maersk for transporting EGA’s aluminium to customers around the world.
EGA exports its metal to customers in more than 60 countries worldwide and makes more than 11,000 shipments each year using over 100,000 containers. EGA’s aluminium is the biggest made-in-the-UAE export after oil and gas.
“Meeting our customers’ expectations depends on both the quality of our production and the efficiency of getting the metal to them, so I am pleased to sign this agreement today with one of our most important shipping partners, Maersk,” remarked Walid Al Attar, Chief Marketing Officer, EGA.
EGA works with 20 different shipping lines to ship its products, transporting metal to over 70 global ports. Maersk is one of EGA’s most significant shipping partners and has provided shipping services to the UAE aluminium giant since 1992.
“As the global integrator of container logistics, this agreement enables us to continue to partner with EGA to ensure their aluminium reaches customers rapidly and as cost-effectively as possible,” commented Christopher Cook, Managing Director, Maersk-UAE, Oman and Qatar.
