GAC North America has responded to the introduction of LNG exports from the Lake Charles area, in the state of Louisiana, by opening an office at the port to provide shipping agency and husbandry services around the clock. It also supports crude oil and related product tankers, as well as other vessels calling at the Louisiana deep-water port.
Located at the heart of the US Gulf Coast, the port of Lake Charles is the 12th busiest port in the USA, with around 1,000 vessels calling annually.
Darren Martin, GAC North America’s Managing Director for Shipping Services, said, “in light of growing exports of US-produced LNG and the continuing expansion of GAC’s core agency business, Lake Charles was the natural choice for the newest office to strengthen our nationwide network”. He added, “our team of experts have the local in-depth knowledge and global resources needed to deliver compliant, safe and world-class service to the LNG sector”.
