GAC chosen as Sarjak Container Lines outsized cargo agent in Chennai

GAC India has entered into an agency agreement with Mumbai-based Sarjak Container Lines Pvt Ltd, to handle its operations requirement in Chennai.

This latest development comes 12 months after its appointment to manage Sarjak's operations in Delhi and northern India.

Sarjak specialises in the transportation of Over Dimensioned Cargo (ODC) in containers, by its fleet of hard top, open top, flat rack, super rack and GP containers. The main cargo handled from the region includes transformers, boilers, chiller units, pressure vessels, and sugar manufacturing plants, oil well equipment, and various engineering goods. Sarjak was awarded "NVOCC of the Year (Special Equipment)" in the 3rd All India Maritime & Logistics Awards (MALA) 2012.

Sathya Chandrashekar, GAC India's general manager of Shipping Operations, says there are very few carriers specialising in the field of containerised project shipments in the Indian break bulk sector at a time when imports and exports of machinery are on the rise.

"GAC has a wealth of experience and professional expertise in moving over dimensioned cargo. We understand the importance of the timely delivery of such equipment, and spare no effort in ensuring that all formalities are cleared within the shortest time possible. We are confident that we can continue to add value to this mutually beneficial partnership," said Capt Sathya.
