GAC North America - Shipping has opened its new office in Seattle, Washington, to support its growing customer base with a presence in the Pacific Northwest.

The Seattle office, which will be GAC's 20th office in the United States, will provide ship agency, husbandry, and protecting agency services, drawing on the GAC Group's global experience in providing integrated shipping, logistics, and marine services.
