Dubai: United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) said that effective Friday, all its activities in Pakistan will be operated under a new joint venture — UASC Pakistan Pvt Ltd — established jointly between UASC and the Delta Group which has represented the company in Pakistan.
UASC Pakistan will become the new shipping agency taking over the existing activities of Delta Shipping, which has been serving UASC customers for 26 years.
The establishment of UASC Pakistan is part of UASC's long-term growth and regional expansion plans involving the acquisition of local agents and staging for an integrated global operation.
The direct effect of this integration will be witnessed through the optimization of UASC's services which ensures the delivery of a personalised customer service through a dedicated local work force. This will help to simplify the customers' shipping experience and bring UASC closer to its customer base.
UASC Pakistan will use UASC's advanced systems enabling faster responses by customer service representatives through direct access to the global UASC data.
The Pakistan market will benefit from UASC's widespread network of services offered on its existing as well as new destinations.
UASC Pakistan will have its head office in Karachi and branches in Lahore and Faisalabad.
