Klaveness have announced the official opening of their Dubai office, which is a branch office of Klaveness Asia. Klaveness has been active in the region for several years and has a rich connection with the area. A presence in the region with a full-fledged office has been on the cards for a while and the growth in activity in the recent years on the dry bulk side has made the decision more crucial.

In addition the company has a unique concept for combination carriers and provides container feeder vessels to various operators.
