Famous Pacific Shipping eyes global expansion

SINGAPORE-based Famous Pacific Shipping (FPS) Group continues with its plans to acquire new members from the Commonwealth of Independent States, North Africa, and parts of the FSU, such as Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.

The NVOCC and freight forwarding network steps up its hunt this year following significant expansion in 2009 where it appointed general agents in the Mediterranean, central Europe and the Middle East.

Kettivit Sittisoontornwong, FPS Logistics (Thailand) and head of the FPS Group advisory board said despite its presence in more than 50 markets throughout Asia, North and South America, Europe and the Middle East there are still areas of the globe where membership can be extended.

Mr Sittisoontornwong added in a company statement that its decade of solid freight industry experience makes it an attractive proposition to emerging markets with its experience of the Chinese freight market for both import and export activity.

Once a region joins they immediately benefit from contact with 70 member companies in 54 countries, "joining the FPS Group as a member is a two-way street," he added.

Traditionally strongest in Asia Pacific, Australasia, North America, the Middle East and western Europe, the FPS Group is a international network of independent freight forwarders who meet once a year for an annual general meeting and conference to conduct business, network with other FPS network members and keep abreast of what the network is doing.
