2 June 2010 - Inchcape Shipping Services have announced further expansion into its North & Central America region with the opening today of a new office in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

“The opening of this office will give ISS a much needed presence in western Canada,” said Tod Gannett, VP US & Canada West Coast & Hawaii. “This will allow us to better serve our current client base as well as explore new business opportunities opening the door for ISS to spread throughout British Columbia.”

Lars Westerberg, Senior Vice President for the region added: “Although this area was covered by our Seattle office in the past, by having a local presence we are planning for further expansion particularly into the bulk and tanker trades, which are prevalent in this area.”
