Agreement with Wallem to Strengthen Scope of AAL’s Project Services
AAL Shipping has named Wallem Transportation, part of the Wallem Group, as its exclusive commercial and port agency representative in Taiwan, an agreement AAL said would expand its presence in the country and strengthen its scope of premium project heavy lift services.
Established in 1903, the Wallem Group has been operating in Taiwan’s capital city Taipei since 1994. Two years ago, AAL selected Wallem Korea as its exclusive South Korea agency representative.
“Taiwan is an important market within Asia and to our operations with strong exports of steel, yachts and engineered industrial project components to key trading partners like Australia, US, and Europe – all markets which we serve with regular services,” said Christophe Grammare, managing director at AAL.
“We have had a solid local presence there for two decades, serving the local multipurpose cargo shipping community with a wide range of flexible ocean transportation solutions. These include scheduled liner operations, regular trade lane sailings and tramp services that connect the region with its trading partners.”
“Wallem has already proved itself to be a reliable partner for AAL and has a strong reputation with, and knowledge of, the local Taiwanese shipping community as well as the breakbulk and heavy lift market in Taiwan and our ambitions to comprehensively grow this market are very much aligned.”
Singapore-headquartered AAL Shipping will be exhibiting at Breakbulk Middle East 2023, taking place on 12-13 February at the Dubai World Trade Center in the UAE.
