Whist, CEO of Gram Car Carriers, commented: “We are proud to have supported the foundation of Global Auto Carriers by leveraging our market connections to create attractive additional revenue streams for GCC and the potential for a meaningful future equity stake. We have done so without adding any capital expenditure, true to our strategy of being a vessel owner with long-term contracts.”
