Offshore support for GAC Shipping

GAC Shipping has strengthened its ship agency services in the US with the opening of a new office in Galliano, Louisiana, in response to the increase in offshore oil and gas activity in the region.

The new GAC office is located near Port Fourchon, Morgan City and Amelia. It enables the provider of shipping, logistics and marine services to better serve the needs of customers with vessels calling at the ports on the Gulf Coast.

Port Fourchon is the region’s main port supporting offshore oil and gas activity, whilst Morgan City is considered the birthplace of the US offshore oil exploration industry. The Galliano office is well situated right in the centre of the activity to attend GAC’s customers’ offshore construction, cargo and supply vessels calling at the two ports.

Office space is available for Principals, if required for hands-on support during projects, mobilisations or demobilisations of their vessels at Fourchon. The base also has a warehouse and outside storage to cater for the staging or storage of equipment or supplies.

“This is an important new addition to our network of bases serving our customers,” commented Darren Martin, general manager at GAC Shipping. “We are working closely with GAC Logistics in Houston to offer all our oil and gas customers our full range of services to support their offshore activities in the Gulf.”

GAC Shipping USA’s extensive network of offices includes port agents at Houston, New Orleans, Mobile, Port Arthur, Pascagoula, Corpus Christi, Freeport TX and Tampa.
