Shipco Transport extended its global footprint with the opening of associate offices in Pakistan. Karachi is home to the head office, with branch offices in Lahore, Faisalabad and Sialkot.

While a new entity for Shipco, the Pakistan operations will be led by Mr. Asim Saeed and the staff of General Maritime (Pvt) Ltd ' Shipco's long-standing agent in the country.

'While we have had a presence in Pakistan for years now, the establishment of our brand there now cements our commitment to expand service offerings to and from this region. It also allows the streamlining of processes and service levels. Key to this is the fact that our facilities in Pakistan will now operate on the same IT platform as that used by all Shipco offices around the world,' says Klaus Jepsen, Group CEO for Shipco.
