Norway’s Klaveness Combination Carriers (KCC) is chasing more Asian and African business through its new office in Dubai.

The Oslo-listed operator of ships that can carry oil and dry bulk cargoes said having a commercial presence in the Middle East “reinforces KCC’s commitment to delivering exceptional services to its customers across diverse global markets and time zones”.

The Dubai office will act as an extension of parent Torvald Klaveness’ existing office, which was established as a branch of Klaveness Asia in 2018.
