Seaco Global strengthens presence in Australia

In January 2015, Bohai Leasing Co. of China acquired Cronos Containers Pty Ltd and subsequently integrated the container leasing activities into Seaco Global.
Bohai is controlled by HNA, a large Chinese conglomerate engaging in transportation, logistics, tourism, hotel, property, airport management, financial services and retail.
Since the amalgamation of Seaco and Cronos, Seaco has been strengthening its presence worldwide and in Australia, establishing representation in Perth, new sales offices in Brisbane and Sydney and building the Seaco/HNA brand, whilst meeting the needs of existing clients and developing new business relationships.
Peter Folkard, Regional Vice President – Oceania & Americas, said he is proud to have formed a collaboration with Sydney based Container Rotation Systems (CRS).
“We are delighted to be working in association with CRS due to the compatibility and capability of their automatic lid lifting and container rotation system compatible with our half-height containers,” Folkard said. “These are very exciting times for Seaco Global Australia and we are looking forward to developing projects in other locations worldwide.”
The Australian team’s success has been backed by access to a global leasing fleet and portfolio of equipment including: general purpose containers; ISO bulk liquid, powder and gas tanks; refrigerated and temperature-controlled units and specialised container types (suitable for bulk items). The company is particularly keen to support Australia’s agriculture and farming; construction, defence, food, government, logistics, manufacturing, mining, oil and gas and waste sectors.
Seaco Global Australia has also announced the launch of a new website to help reinforce the company’s brand positioning in the local marketplace: www.seacoglobal.com.au
