Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) is expanding its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region with the opening of a new Global Marine Travel (ISS GMT) office in Singapore.

ISS GMT Singapore has been opened to look after marine clients based in Singapore with their travel needs into and out of the city. Along with ISS GMT Philippines in Manila it will look after travel requests for clients throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

Singapore is one of the world’s largest commercial hubs for marine and offshore business and the new office will meet the demand from existing clients and growth within the region. The company’s traveller tracking system and global ground transportation network offer an enhanced service and have created extra demand for its value-added services from shipowners and vessel management companies.

Both offices are led by managers with over twenty years’ experience. Shern Kwa at ISS GMT Singapore will manage commercial marine crew and ensure the smooth operation of the office which is open round the clock, 365 days a year, while Jacqueline Wenlock has recently been appointed as the new General Manager of ISS GMT Philippines. Originally from Australia, Jacqueline has worked in the travel industry throughout her career and will run the team of 48 agents, quality controllers and accounting staff.
