Dubai: GAC Group has formed an alliance with Norway's oldest shipping agent, Ole R Olsen (ORO), whereby the Norwegian company becomes part of GAC's global agency network, providing in-depth local knowledge to the Dubai-based group's global customer base. Based in Mongstad, home to Norway's largest oil, gas and product terminal, ORO has 161 years maritime experience and handles over 1,000 port calls annually. GAC clients calling Norway will benefit from reduced turnaround times and operational costs thanks to a combination of 'ORO's strong Norwegian and North Sea expertise and GAC's global strength in ship agency and offshore support services,' says Lars Peter Heisselberg, GAC Group vp for shipping services.
