GAC, a leading shipping, logistics and marine services provider, has smoothed the transit of the world’s largest sailing yacht through the Suez Canal and was at hand when it arrived at ports in Oman and Srilanka.

The integrated package of support services at multiple ports for the 93-metre long three-masted Bermuda rigged schooner ‘Eos’ was co-ordinated by the GAC Bunker Fuels specialised superyacht department based in Southampton, UK, said a statement.

In Egypt, GAC's Suez Canal Transit Services team took care of the passage through the waterway from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean.

Its next port of call was the Omani port of Salalah, where the local GAC team took care of inward/outward clearance and supplies of fuel and provisions, before the setting off for Sri Lanka to drop off security detail - again with GAC acting as agent.

Murray Bishop, head of the GAC Bunker Fuels superyacht department, said close co-operation and communication between the various GAC offices and the yacht's crew was key to ensuring the yacht’s smooth onward journey.

GAC Bunker Fuels also arranged delivery of fuel for the world's second largest sailing yacht, the 90-metre long three-masted schooner ‘Athena’, at Nice in France. - TradeArabia News Service
