AAL opens Vancouver office

Heavy-lift carrier AAL’s new Vancouver office is expected to support its Pacific service, connecting North Asia with the U.S. and Canadian west coast.    Heavy-lift vessel operator AAL has opened a new office in Vancouver, Canada. 
   The carrier continues to expand its presence worldwide, also opening an office in South Korea this month.
   AAL’s Vancouver office, operating under AAL Canada, is expected to boost its Pacific service, connecting North Asia with the U.S. and Canadian west coast, and support Canadian shippers in the liquefied natural gas, oil, mining and forestry sectors. 
   The establishment of AAL Canada follows the recent launch of the Vancouver International Maritime Center (VIMC), which was set up to promote Vancouver as an international shipping hub. AAL is one of the first operators to work with VIMC and benefit from its services.
