Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) has opened a facility in Tianjin, China.
This takes the total number of WSS agency offices in the region to six, located in Shanghai, Beijing, Qingdao, Dalian, Ningbo and Tianjin.
Leo Hao, manager of WSS Tianjin said; “There are currently 1,500 calls per month in the port of Tianjin. By increasing the number of regional agency offices, WSS China will be fully equipped to offer a joined-up network, providing the same service levels as WSS offices throughout the world and achieving global consistency of agency services.”
Captain Bi, general manager of WSS Ships Agency & Marine Logistics China said; “The six places within which we are now located represent each and every coastal province in China. As part of WSS’ China expansion plan, we are aiming to build up our network of agency services along the entire Chinese coastline.”
The expansion plan will continue to gather pace throughout 2012, with offices in Guangzhou, Xiamen and Fangcheng expected to be operational before the end of the year, WSS said.
