Cromac Smith Ltd and the S.A.T. Sea-Air Transport group The Altatros Sea-Air Service is operated by the S.A.T. Sea-Air Transport group which has been specialising in sea-air transportation since 1984. S.A.T. Sea-Air Transport has been widely recognised for doing most to develop sea-air services through the UAE. It has been winning awards for many years. S.A.T. Sea-Air Transport opened its first sales office outside its Germany origins in July 1985 when the UK & Irish office commenced business. Since then group offices have been opened in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Shanghai, and, most recently, in Surabaya and Ho Chi Minh City. These regional offices oversee the work of Albatros handling agents in particular origin ports. Cromac Smith Ltd was formed in the summer of 1989 to continue the promotion and marketing of the Albatros service and to manage its activities within the UK and Ireland. To this day it remains true to the original idyll of offering Albatros as a carriage-only service. It continues to specialise in the marketing and management of Albatros services. Ocean freight, airfreight, customers clearence are left to other specialists. Albatros is utilised by many of the world's major forwarding and logistics companies. To many Cromac Smith Ltd has become their own 'sea-air department' and Albatros has been adopted as 'their own'. Much of Albatros business is 'third-country' traffic from Asia to various areas of Africa, Europe and North America. Cromac Smith Ltd., 34-40 Warwick Road, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 1HE U.K. |
