(EnergyAsia, October 25 2010, Monday) — Award winning integrated logistics specialist Agility is targeting the oil and gas industry and its operations in Asia to spur its growth.

Early this month, the company walked away with the prestigious ‘Logistics Award’ for the third consecutive year at the Lloyd’s List Asia Awards ceremony.

Attended by 300 leading shipping and logistics professionals, the awards ceremony was judged by academic and industry leaders from across the region including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines.

The award reflects Agility’s growing presence providing logistical services to a range of industries including project cargo, oil, gas and chemicals. In Asia, it provides specialised services for oil and gas companies working in demanding environments from Indonesia’s Kalimantan jungles to the Gorgon offshore oilfields of Western Australia.

Founded in Kuwait in 1979, Agility is actively seeking to expand in Asia’s diverse markets including Brunei, East Timor and Laos while seeking out new businesses in moving oil and gas equipment and pipes in Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Hans Hickler, CEO for Asia Pacific, Agility, said: “Our business is all about consistency and striving for excellence. Winning this award for three consecutive years shows that we continue to deliver a high level of service and that, in the eyes of our peers and industry experts, we are the best at what we do,” he added.

With close to US$6 billion in annual revenue, the publicly-traded company has 32,000 employees spread over 550 offices in 120 countries.
