About GAC

Helping you thrive, even in challenging times.

Shipping, logistics and marine support for your business

  • Swedish roots, seafaring heritage

    The GAC story started in 1956 when Swedish entrepreneur Bengt Lindwall signed an agreement with two Kuwaiti businessmen to form Gulf Agency Company to provide professional ship agency services in the country. Today, Kuwait’s Shipping License “No.1” is proudly displayed at GAC Kuwait’s office in Farwaniya.

    Lindwall’s entrepreneurial spirit led directly to the establishment of GAC over sixty years ago. Over the next decade, more offices opened throughout the Middle East as oil, shipping and logistics business there grew.

  • Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, more GAC companies were established in the Eastern Mediterranean, Africa, Asia Pacific and the Indian Subcontinent. Further Europe, the Americas, Central Asia and Australia followed in the 1990s and 2000s. Today, GAC is now a truly global provider of integrated shipping, logistics and marine services.

  • Our business is about people and long-term relationships. It’s one of the cornerstones of our business philosophy. We value you, whether you’re our customer, our potential client, our partner, our supplier or one of our 7,500 employees at more than 300 offices in over 50 countries worldwide.
