Vanguard opens in Myanmar

   Non-vessel-operating common carrier Vanguard Logistics Services has started servicing Yangon, Myanmar.
   Vanguard Myanmar, opened with partner Global Consolidators Ltd., has a dedicated Vanguard staff to oversee all aspects of sales, customer service and port operations. Employees at this location coordinate weekly less-than-containerload services from more than 90 origins globally through Singapore to Asia World Terminal in Yangon, the NVO said.
   “In addition, we recently launched a weekly LCL service from Yangon to over 85 worldwide destinations via Singapore to serve our customers in what we expect to be a growing export market,” said Jeff Lee, Vanguard’s regional managing director South East Asia, Middle East and Indian Subcontinent.
   “Myanmar is on the cusp of enormous trade growth for many years to come,” Lee added.
