Wilhelmsen finds inroads in China bulk

Wilhelmsen finds inroads in China bulk    Wilhelmsen Ships Service said it is making strides in China's dry bulk shipping business.
   “The Wilhelmsen Ship Service team, which is known as the minerals market segment, is starting to make inroads into China, in particular with leading Chinese steel mills,” the company said.
   John Sim, the company’s minerals segment sales director, said the company has a unique concept of looking at cargo handling on a market segment basis that has attracted customers.
   'This means we have combined our ships agency with our marine products and technical services and are offering a comprehensive maritime portfolio to our customers globally,' he said, adding that customers “appreciate that getting a vessel in and out of port rapidly reduces cost and improves operational efficiency. We have a service which is definable and global and we have economies of scale which are far greater than local shipping agents.'
