“As two independent partners motivated by the same objectives, we have teamed up for the marketing of our respective cement carrier fleets,” CCA said in a statement.
Baltrader and UBC offer continuity in their customer relationships but remains as independent entities operating out of their own offices. UBC office in Philadelphia and the Baltrader office in Hamburg will jointly represent CCA.
Between June 24 to June 26, 2019, CCA member partners will participate at the 100th INTERCEM conference in Istanbul. At the same time, CCA will launch a website to showcase its diversified fleet to its clients and share relevant industry news.
