We look forward to helping them become a fully fledged member of ShipServ and find opportunities to create value."
"ABCmaritime operates in specialised niches but with a global scope," said Daniel Wolf, CEO of ABCmaritime Group. "We like to work with partners like ShipServ who understand our business and have a track record of delivery to high standards. We foresee considerable potential for our fleet and management operations from this partnership with ShipServ."

Using the BASS system, the ABC vessels can connect to the ShipServ Pages supplier directory, raise requests for quotations and place orders via TradeNet in co-ordination with shoreside offices.
