Effective April 15, 2013, Shipco Transport announced that it will extend its global coverage with the opening of joint venture with its long standing partner and agent MTM Freight in Korea.

Shipco Korea will take over all activities currently handled by MTM in Seoul, Korea and will be staffed with the current MTM personnel already in place. Existing MTM customers in Korea can expect 'business as usual' as the transition from MTM to Shipco will be seamless.

'We are very excited about this new venture. MTM Freight is highly respected in their market and bring along a broad knowledge of the NVOCC business. We believe that the synergies that already exist between our two companies will result in a force to be reckoned with when brought together under the banner of Shipco Transport,' commented Klaus Jepsen, Shipco's Group CEO.
