Focus on Logistics and Sales to the Cruise & Marine Industry In order to strengthen our position within logistics to the Cruise and Marine Industry, Rasmus Øllgaard/Blue Water Ft. Lauderdale, Kurt Skov/Blue Water Esbjerg and Lisette Trab Munk/Blue Water Esbjerg went to Canada, USA and the Bahamas to visit customers, agents and shipyards.
First stop was Vancouver, Canada where we paid a visit to Aerostream Logistics. Aerostream is the receiving warehouse/handling agent in Canada/Alaska for cruise related materials. Afterwards we flew to Seattle, USA, where we met with our good client Holland America Line. In Seattle we
also paid a short visit to Cruise West. After Seattle we went to Ft. Lauderdale and stayed at our office in Ft. Lauderdale for a few days. After Ft. Lauderdale we went to Miami for the Seatrade Cruise Exhibition (see separate article). Last stop on this fairly long trip was Freeport, the Bahamas, where
we among other things paid an interesting visit to the Grand Bahama Shipyard (GBS). We spent a lot of hours in the air during the month of March - and also went from snowy Canada to lots of sunshine in Florida.
