Dwight Chiavetta, President of Trade & Logistics Siam, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to represent OAG Cargo Solutions in Thailand and to market the OAG suite of information products to Thailand’s logistics providers. We have already established a successful partnership with OAG’s sister company PIERS, which provides intelligence solutions to the global waterborne trade industry, and I am confident that our relationship with OAG will be a long and prosperous one.”
