APL moves Mediterranean headquarters to Barcelona
APL, an ocean carrier owned by Neptune Orient Lines Ltd., has relocated its Mediterranean regional management office from Genoa, Italy, to Barcelona, Spain.
“The decision to move was driven by geographic reasons. Barcelona is very accessible from most European and international locations, it has a large and modern airport, and is a thriving area of economic activity,” said Dave Appleton, APL’s president, Europe.
APL said Simon Trobe will oversee the carrier’s Mediterranean operations in addition to remaining general manager of APL Espana.
