Hot on the heels of the recent launch of its ‘Europe – Middle East/India – Asia Monthly Liner Service’, award-winning multipurpose heavy lift carrier AAL has appointed Genovese shipping firm, Hugo Trumpy Srl to be its exclusive commercial agency representative in Italy. Established in 1876, Hugo Trumpy is one of the region’s oldest maritime groups, with valuable experience in the breakbulk and project heavy lift sector.
Eike Muentz, AAL’s European General Manager, explained, ‘Italy is an important market for breakbulk and project cargo business and well served by our new Europe to Asia monthly liner service, as well as our tramp chartering sailings east and westbound through the region.’
He added, ‘Hugo Trumpy has an excellent shipping pedigree; knows the market we serve and its primary stakeholders extremely well and is aligned with AAL’s commercial ambitions for the market. We are looking forward to a very successful cooperation.’
