LONDON: Ponant Yacht Cruises & Expeditions has appointed GAC UK as its agent for all UK and Ireland port calls in 2016.
GAC, which has a well-established port agency infrastructure in the UK, will provide services for Ponant’s 142m mega yachts, Le Boréal and L’Austral, when they cruise around the British Isles and Ireland in May and June next year. The ships will sail to the Scilly Isles, Shetlands, Dublin, Liverpool and the Scottish Highlands.
We were impressed by the frontline expertise available within GAC, both in port operations and in niche sectors like bunker fuels, marine leisure and superyachts,” said Marc Berberian, Ponant’s port operations manager. “This, together with strong local and global networks, and a business philosophy that has long term relationships as one of its core principles, made GAC the right choice for Ponant.”
