GAC is in it for the long haul

摘要

GAC Saudi Arabia traces its roots back to 1957, one year after it was founded in Kuwait as the first ship agency in the Middle East. Today it has operations at the ports of Dammam, Al Khafji, Jeddah, Yanbu, Jubail, Ras Tanura, Ras Al-Khafji and Rabigh, as well as the dry port in Riyadh. 'We are here a long time. We want to be here a long time,' says David Burck, Dammam-based md of GAC Saudi Arabia. 'Decision-making is very fast - people with connections here are worth their weight in gold.'
