The quick expansion of the Montecarlo based
Cambiaso & Risso group in the global logistic market has led to an appointment
by Silversea as port and logistics partner.
The cruise ships involved with the agreement are 5 out of the 8 luxury cruise
vessels that are part of Silversea’s fleet: Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow, Silver
Spirit, Silver Wind and Silver Whisper.
“The agreement will allow us to offer our primary Client a 360° degree service
including: services arrangements, berth reservations for planned changes or
itineraries, quotations and proformas requests, DAs formats, direct negotiations
on site with Vendors, tenders on specific services, etc…” specifies Giovanni
Paolo Risso Ceo of the Italian shipping services and tour operator provider.
In ports where it has its own branch offices, C&R will take direct care of the
activity; while in other ports called upon by Silversea’s vessels, C&R will act
as a supervisor of the local subagent designated by Silversea. This is an
innovative approach between the relation within a cruise line and a port agent.
“The agreement does not foresees the birth of a joint venture or any specific
newco, but however it can be considered the first such type in the cruise
sector”, claims C&R. “We have established a common teamwork with staff from the
two companies who will work in full synergy on a continuous basis”.
Cambiaso & Risso, founded in 1946 in Genoa, boasts offices in Monaco, Italy,
France, Spain, Slovenia, Singapore and Hong Kong, recording overall 150 million
euro sales, recruiting over 200 staff, taking care of some 4.000 shipcalls of
any kind of passenger and freight vessels.
C&R has developed plans aimed at implementing a more international structure, a
global plan to complete on all markets and export his philosophy to provide
tailor-made services.
After the considerable growth achieved on the Italian and Monegasque markets
over the last twenty years, from November 2013 the multi-faceted company has
increased its presence in the Far East by launching a new Hong Kong-based
branch, after having strengthened its Singapore office that’s been providing
full port logistic services to cargo and cruiseships.
Over the next few months branches will be opened by C&R in Panama, Shangai and
UAE.
C&R is able to assist all kind of ships in any part of the world having set up
own offices in many strategic ports of the world, but also thanks to a network
of agencies and a fully dedicated staff with great experience in shipping
activities. Having a wide range of action, its aim is to offer diverse and high
level assistance and service to the Tramp, Cruising, Yachting Industries. |
