Agora's sixteen offices directly cover 25 key Italian ports, and agreements with approved sub-agents increase this coverage to 51 ports.
Capt. Tom Bjorklund, general manager of GAC Global Hub Services, believes that Italy's thriving maritime sector is the ideal platform for the alliance to market its Global Hub Agency Services, and that the GAC-Agora alliance provides the comprehensive nationwide and worldwide port coverage and global access necessary to serve Italian principals.
The GAC global agency network is an important growth model for the GAC Group to enhance its position as a more integrated and diversified service provider with in-depth local expertise.
GAC has rapidly expanded its global agency network through strategic tie-ups with suitable partners in its target geographical expansion areas over the last few years.
The company's global network agents include Wilford & McKay (Panama), Vensport (Venezuela), Ultramar Network (Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay), Wilson & Sons (Brazil), Tomas Ruiz (Mexico), Alstons (Trinidad & Tobago), Aarus (Spain), Getma (Francophone West Africa), Maxmarin (Ukraine), Seaforth (East Africa), Unipros (Republic of Korea), and Kudrat Maritime (Malaysia).
