Vietnam and Cambodia move into contention

As International Liner

Agencies celebrates two

decades in business,

expanding its service

portfolio is part and parcel of

its philosophy going forward.

It’s all about staying

in touch with the market

and reacting to change,

says sales director Kevin

Taylor. “China is becoming

increasingly expensive so we

see manufacturing possibly

moving to the likes of

Vietnam or Cambodia where

a number of manufacturing

facilities are being set up –

and that will mean the need

for additional services from

these destinations.

“That’s where our

relationship with Vanguard

has given us the edge because

through their Singapore

hub we have access to those

markets, and as other

markets develop we can

springboard right in. Once

the routes reach critical

mass, we tend to look at

upgrading to direct services

– and that could become a

reality in the next few years

for the likes of Vietnam,

Cambodia or even Malaysia.”
