COLUMBIA Shipmanagement (CSM), a member of the Columbia Group, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Seacon Shipping Group Ltd, a Hong Kong-listed shipowner and operator, reports St Petersburg SeaNews.
Under the agreement, CSM's Greece office will manage the Chinese-owned and operated vessels of Seacon Shipping as clients.
The vessels will also have access to CSM's Tanker Centre of Excellence techniques and practices, as announced by SITC in a recent press release.
The cooperation pact, inked on August 31 in Shanghai, encompasses all types of vessels, with a particular emphasis on Chinese-owned LPG, LNG, and Product tankers.
As part of this arrangement, the Columbia Group will extend its maritime, logistics, renewable, and leisure services to Seacon Shipping.
Both organizations intend to exploit existing and potential synergies through this cooperation agreement, leveraging the Columbia Group's Service Platforms and client networks to enhance the operational efficiency of the managed vessels.
"We look forward to working with Seacon Shipping and see this as the start of a compelling regional proposition and offering, which provides a tailored, win-win solution for all stakeholders," said Columbia Group CEO Mark O'Neil.
"By utilizing the digital power of our highly effective industry-leading Performance Optimization Control Room coupled with our group-wide digital technology, we will be able to drive enhanced value to Seacon Shipping's bottom line. Seacon Shipping has also much to offer the Columbia Group in terms of regional expertise and practice. Seacon's terrific network in China, including Chinese leasing companies and charterers, will be open to clients and partners of CSM Greece."
"The Seacon Shipping vessels will be managed by our Greece office while CSM Shanghai will continue to operate separately and independently, focusing on Chinese clients managed out of China," said Mr O'Neil.
