The Asian Shippers Alliance, a regional alliance of peak trade organisations, welcomed the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA), which is affiliated with the Freight and Trade Alliance and is the Commonwealth-appointed organisation that represents the interests of shippers and cargo owners in Australia.
Andy K.H. Seo, Malaysian National Shippers’ Council chair and ASA chair, welcomed APSA to the Asian Shippers Alliance.
“As a part of our strength through a growing membership, we have an opportunity to deliver on key policy reform including a need for minimum service levels and a focus on shipping competition law to provide safeguards to our exporters and importers for services provided by foreign-owned carriers,” stated Andy K.H. Seo.
According to APSA secretary Paul Zalai, Australia will profit from and contribute to this expansion by being a dependable and high-quality provider of commodities such as agriculture, minerals, and energy.
“We share the vision of the ASA for the need for dependable, fair, and predictable shipping and logistics services within the region to help our respective nations prosper,” noted Zalai.
