Evergreen establishes its own agency in South Africa

The Evergreen Group will establish its own liner agency company, Evergreen Agency (South Africa) (PTY) LTD. (ESA), in Johannesburg with other two branch offices in Cape Town and Durban commencing operations on 1 April, 2009.
Establishing ESA, a joint venture with the company’s long-standing partner and agent—Green Africa Shipping (PTY) Ltd (GAS), is in recognition of the potential market and its strategic location in Africa. To maintain continuity with customers and to ensure a smooth transition of business, ESA will be staffed by many former GAS employees.
The company’s spokesperson says:
“By setting up our own agency, we not only deliver better efficiencies and productivity to our customers but also safeguard our competitiveness in today’s challenging times and developing a future vision in Africa.”
