Inchcape Shipping Services opens new office in North
America
Inchcape Shipping
Services (ISS), the world’s leading maritime services provider, has expanded its
network in North America with the opening of a new office in Dutch Harbor,
Alaska.
“The opening of this office will give ISS a
much needed presence in this area of Alaska,” said Tod Gannett, VP US &
Canada West Coast & Hawaii. “This will allow us to better serve our current
client base as well as explore new business opportunities in the
region.”
Although the area was handled by ISS’ Seattle
office through a local sub agent network in the past it is still expecting to
use sub agents in Alaska, with the aim of future expansion as business and
current clientele dictate.
The office is managed by Port Manager, Greg
Pawlak, formerly ISS Manager in Long Beach. “We are excited to open up an
office in an area where offshore exploration is expected to grow significantly
and pleased to have Greg back to take on the challenge in what is a very remote
part of the USA” added Ian Whelan SVP North America Operations.
ISS has a proven ability to operate
successfully in some of the harshest and most remote areas of the world. In
addition to its new Alaskan office, the company’s geographical network is
growing with recent expansion in Chile and Mauritius.

leading maritime services provider. With over 290 proprietary offices in 65
