GAC Fujairah wins Kuwait Oil Tanker contract

FUJAIRAH, July 2, 2017

GAC Fujairah has been awarded a husbandry contract by the Kuwait Oil Tanker Company (KOTC) to provide ship supply services, spare parts handling and a range of other logistical services to its vessels arriving in Fujairah, Khor Fakkan and Singapore anchorage.

As part of global shipping, logistics and marine services provider GAC Group, GAC Fujairah said it has worked in close cooperation with the Middle East Regional Office in Dubai and GAC Singapore to secure the deal.

Under the contract, the GAC team is set to handle approximately 450 jobs a year, a figure which is likely to grow as the KOTC fleet expands, it stated.

This is the third time GAC Fujairah has been appointed by KOTC to provide husbandry services to its vessels.

GAC Fujairah’s proven track record of operational excellence is one of the key factors in awarding the contract to them, said a senior KOTC management representative.

“We are pleased to be working with GAC again and we look forward to closer cooperation between the two companies,” he added.

Captain Johan Thuresson, the general manager (Shipping Services) for Fujairah & Dubai at GAC said effective husbandry ensures efficient vessel turnaround, which in turn minimises the time spent in port.

"GAC Fujairah’s husbandry services have time and again generated tangible time and cost savings for our clients like the Kuwait Oil Tanker Company. Our goal is to ensure our teams deliver such efficiency gains on a continuous basis," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
