MacAndrews opens French agency

MacAndrews opens French agency MacAndrews, owned by the French CMA CGM Group, today opened its own agency in France to focus on short-sea inter-European trades and deep-sea routes, with emphasis on those serving the Indian subcontinent.
   The new agency is based in Le Havre with Jean-Louis Troiano appointed general manager.
   MacAndrews said it expects significant trade growth in France, especially with Indian markets.
   'Customers will have access to our increasingly wide network of services and the modern tonnage that we operate. This enables us to guaranteed fast transit times, competitive tariffs and full supply chain solutions,' Troiano said.
   In recent years, the United Kingdom-based carrier has opened wholly owned agencies in Hamburg, Antwerp and Rotterdam. 'The North West Continent is playing an increasingly important role in the container shipping services that MacAndrews offer to importers and exporters,' MacAndrews said.
