GAC Pindar and BBC Yacht Transport join forces

Marine leisure, sports and event specialist, GAC Pindar, has teamed up with BBC Yacht Transport to provide transport solutions for the sailing sector. BBC Yacht Transport is a division of ocean transport solutions, BBC Chartering.

The two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which combines BBC Yacht Transport’s commitment to competitive pricing with GAC Pindar’s suite of logistics services to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ solution for the sailing industry. The agreement brings together BBC’s fleet of 160 multipurpose vessels with GAC Pindar’s first-hand knowledge.

The agreement strengthens the existing relationship between the GAC Group and BBC Chartering, who worked together during the last edition of the Volvo Ocean Race in 2018, providing charter solutions to meet the tight deadlines as the race circled the world.
