The
Heathrow-headquartered forwarder, which this year celebrates its 20th
anniversary, aims to develop its multimodal offering in the region, capitalising on Vietnam’s proximity to
major shipping routes. This announcement follows the opening of an office
in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in February of this year, with a total of 10 ICL
offices now established across the globe.
“Our new office will be integral in
driving operations in Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on supporting our
clients in the e-commerce sector,” said Yoav Izhari, Chief Executive Officer,
ICL. “Vietnam’s
position facilitates easy access to the South China Sea Route, a shipping route
that is integral to our operations between Asia and Europe.”
The Vietnam office will allow ICL
comprehensive oversight of its operations in the region, strategically situated
near the Saigon Port network.
“This
new office presents an exciting opportunity to strengthen our working
relationships with existing clients, and to build new connections with players
in the region,” added Izhari.
