Shipco Transport has announced the opening of its third operations office in Thailand. Situated in Thailand's largest port, Laem Chabang is located 120 km southeast of downtown Bangkok and 90 km southeast of Lat Krabang and Suvarnabhumi airport. The new office, handling LCL and FCL, import and export, will join already established Shipco Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi for added coverage in Thailand.

Erik Thomle, currently the Regional Director of Indochina, will be acting as general manager for the new office. 'By positioning our office in Laem Chabang, we can better service many industrial estates located on the Eastern Seaboard,' commented Thomle. 'This market is important as it is home to major auto and auto parts manufacturers.'

Shipco already operates direct import consolidation services from worldwide origins such as Hong Kong, Hamburg, Bremen, Singapore, Shanghai, and Busan into Laem Chabang. Additionally, several export services are in the pipeline.

Shipco Laem Chabang now services all international logistics needs. Contact details are as follows:
