Oceanwide Logistics Opens Dubai Office

 

OL International Holdings LLC announced the launch of its newest office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Oceanwide Logistics Dubai joins the company’s growing global NVOCC network of 18 offices and more than 120 agents worldwide, many of which are part of the Oceanwide Logistics Global Network. This integrated network allows OL International to deliver powerful and seamless service to and from Dubai and ports around the world.

 

Oceanwide Logistics Dubai will be led by Managing Director Paula Bellamy, an industry veteran who previously managed Allseas Global Logistics Dubai and Ocean World Lines U.K. offices. “The team and I are thrilled to be able to dramatically expand the breadth and strength of our services to clients by leveraging the power of the Oceanwide Logistics Global Network,” said Ms. Bellamy. “Not only will we be able to improve client experience with industry-leading features like Track & Trace, and the EDI-fed reporting directly from carriers, but as of today we are in a leadership position in an exciting time for the growth and maturation of Dubai as a port of choice in global shipping.”

 

“The launch of the office is the next step in OL International’s global expansion and a sign of confidence in Dubai’s present and future in the shipping industry as a core hub for the Middle East,” stated Alan Baer President of OL International. “We have seen Dubai rise in prominence as shippers hold cargo in the free zone and then dispatch it on a just-in-time basis.”

 

In addition to traditional offerings of domestic and international transport of commercial and personal cargo, the team has distinguished itself over the years by adding a personal touch of advice and support for complete piece of mind. This has included bespoke services tailored to customer requirements, including those goods requiring very specific handling arrangements, and consultative solutions for clients with cargo stuck at customs.
