APL LAUNCHES SCANDINAVIAN ORGANIZATION
APL has opened its own organization in the Nordic region. APL Scandinavia, based in Copenhagen, will initially control five offices in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
The office will take over responsibility for regional activities under a joint venture between APL and its current agent, the Scan-Shipping Group, effective July 1.
Jesper Stenbak, APL's Nordic region managing director, will lead the new organization.
In addition to APL's offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Oslo, Gothenburg and Helsinki, the sub-agency will maintain presence in Aalborg, Odense and Esbjerg, Denmark; and Helsingborg, Sweden.
