   'With the South Korean government looking to attract international companies, it makes sense for us to join hands with Unipros Marine to capitalize on this anticipated wave of investment by the shipping industry into South Korea,' said Lars P. Heisselbeerg, GAC Group's vice president, shipping division.
   Joy Hwang, president of Unipros Marine, said his company will benefit from 'leveraging GAC's global shipping network and its IT infrastructure.'
