UASC sets up own UK agency

   The liner carrier United Arab Shipping Co. said this week it has set up its own agency in the United Kingdom.
   United Arab Shipping Agency Co. (U.K) Ltd. is part of “long-term growth and regional expansion plans for staging an integrated global operation,” UASC said. 
   The new agency replaces existing activities by Barking, U.K.-based Interfreight Shipping Agency Ltd., which UASC used for 12 years.
