  • Ana Silveira.
    Ana Silveira.
A graduate of the State University of New York Maritime College at Fort Schuyler, with a Bachelor degree in International Transportation and Trade, Silveira is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English. She joined GAC immediately after graduation, as a Hub Coordinator in Houston, responsible for monitoring port calls for hub customers such as Chevron, BG, Euronav and Tanker Pacific.

Silveira remains in Houston for her new post, in which she is responsible for the promotion of GAC's global ship agency and related services to existing and potential customers throughout Central and South America.

She reports to Neil Godfrey, GAC Shipping's Group Sales Director, who says:
"We are very pleased that Ana has agreed to take up this new challenge. Central and South America is a large area and it is exciting to now have resources dedicated to promoting GAC Shipping to the developing maritime and trading community across the region. As a graduate of Fort Schuyler, with practical agency experience and speaking the local languages fluently, Ana is ideally qualified to expand GAC's customer base in her appointed sales territory."


Darren Martin, who was until now responsible for GAC Shipping's sales and account management across the entire Americas region, has been appointed Senior Marketing Manager.

Neil Godfrey adds, "Darren has done a fantastic job covering a massive area since he arrived in Houston in late 2003. With a newly defined sales territory of USA, Canada and the Caribbean, he will now be able to devote more time to applying his skills and experience in developing our important customer base in North America."
