AAL Bolsters Pacific Expansion Plans with Industry Award Win in Canada

AAL has been named “Best Maritime Cargo Provider 2014” at the 2015 Cargo Logistics Canada Awards of Excellence, held in Vancouver, British Columbia, as part of the Cargo Logistics Canada Expo & Conference last January. The award win follows a sustained 2-year period of investment and development for AAL in the Pacific region, which has seen the establishment of its AAL Pacific Service, overseeing a unique combination of regular liner shipping and tailor-made tramp solutions for cargo transportation to destinations worldwide.

Testament to AAL’s commitment to further expanding its footprint in Canada and across the region, on the same day that it received its award, it also celebrated the inaugural call of AAL Singapore, an A-Class 31,000 t dwt, 2^nd generation multipurpose heavy lift vessel at the Squamish Terminals, British Columbia. The vessel and crew successfully loaded a major consignment of pulp at Squamish Terminals (a deep-water breakbulk terminal located at the north end of Howe Sound - 32 nautical miles (59 km) north of the Port of Vancouver), before continuing its regular North Asia – North America West Coast liner schedule.

“As we celebrate our 20^th year of operating, we are honored to have been recognised by the CLC Awards of Excellence and remain firmly committed to developing our services across North America and the Pacific. It is an important region for our customers and we are seeing increased growth and demand for our unique offering. In providing both liner and dedicated tramp sailings, we offer customers efficient, trustworthy and highly flexible transportation solutions – wherever and whenever they need them and at the right price,” commented Felix Schoeller, line manager of AAL’s Pacific Liner Service.

Established in 1995, AAL operates the youngest fleet in the multipurpose heavy lift sector. It comprises of owned vessels, as well as chartered-in tonnage – all specifically designed and equipped to transport heavy lift and project cargoes, traditional breakbulk, earth moving equipment, wind energy and offshore equipment as well as floating cargo such as boats and yachts.

AAL is one of the world’s leading global breakbulk, project cargo and heavy lift shipping operators, providing a unique dual tramp and liner service for its customers throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas.
