GLOBAL logistics provider Agility has officially commenced operations in Cambodia with the opening of an office in the capital Phnom Penh, to strengthen its network in Indochina.

Agility Cambodia will offer services to both locally-based and network customers in Cambodia, with a range of air freight, sea freight, customs clearance, warehousing and local distribution solutions. A cross border trucking service initially connecting Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to Phnom Penh and Bangkok in Thailand to Phnom Penh will be available, followed by services linking South China and Vietnam.

Agility Cambodia will also focus on other key sectors including Project Logistics in the oil and gas sector and Fairs and Events, a company statement said.

"Agility has a great opportunity to develop the Cambodian market as demand is growing for a broad range of freight and logistics services. We are seeing a significant increase in international trade from Cambodia to the US and Europe, as well as to the rest of Asia. We have also seen an increase in cross border trade within Indochina and between Asean countries," said Mike Gildea, CEO, Agility, South East Asia.

To support its growth in Cambodia Agility has appointed Phang Sovong as general manager, Cambodia.
