Global Transport Solutions acquires Ship Spares Logistics

Global Transport Solutions (GTS), a logistics service provider focusing on supply chain solutions for the maritime industry (via the brand Marinetrans), has acquired Ship Spares Logistics (SSL), a marine logistics specialist offering barge deliveries, warehouse consolidation, and freight forwarding services.

The merging of the two companies will improve service offerings in maritime spare parts logistics by using the combined capabilities, culture, and worldwide network of both organizations, according to the statement.

“With a shared vision and complementing strengths, this collaboration with SSL is a natural progression. Together, we are able to redefine service standards in marine spare parts logistics, offering an even more comprehensive and integrated service portfolio to our clients at Marinetrans that is unrivalled in the industry. The acquisition of SSL reinforces our last-mile service offering, giving our clients a wider range of options,” stated John Burgstra, co-CEO at GTS.

Leo Faasse, managing director at SSL, said that “joining hands with GTS feels like coming together with a trusted friend. The existing relationships and cultural synergy between our teams will surely translate into a successful and fruitful partnership, offering unmatched value to our clients.”

According to the announcement, clients should expect a smooth transition as the integration progresses, interacting with the same experienced employees they have always dealt with. The firms will be perfectly positioned to meet the increasingly complex and ever-changing demands of the maritime logistics sector in general. SSL and GTS hope to build a revolutionary service in the industry by arranging our clients’ logistics from vendor to vessel through technical innovation and service integration.
