NEW SALES and customer service offices in Argentina and Uruguay will serve as a platform for further growth in the South American market, according to Jens Norgaard, Safmarine’s regional executive for the Americas. This follows the transfer last month of the staff from the line’s former third party agency, Navegecion Atlantica, to Safmarine’s own offices in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Safmarine currently offers direct shipping services between the east coast of South America and destinations in Europe; the east coast of North America; and SA, Indian Ocean islands and Middle East/India/Pakistan. “Services from South America also extend via transhipment to West Africa, East Africa, Australia and the Far East,” said Norgaard.
