This website presents some background of Great American Lines and its qualifications as a carrier and facilitator of Two-Way Trade.
The GALI Management Team (Some of the outstanding professionals in the shipping world):
Great American Lines, a U.S. corporation, was formed in 1978 as a result of the forethought of two businessmen determined to promote trade between Japan and the United States. With a vehicle carriage contract and experience handling refrigerated cargoes, Great American Lines has successfully provided service to a major Japanese car manufacturing company and the leading fresh produce communities in the U.S. and Japan since service with the M/V Sunbelt Dixie began. In February 1988, the "Sunbelt Dixie" was hailed as the symbol of two-way trade with Japan by a distinguished forum of international leaders who attended an International Two-Way Trade Conference in Tampa, Florida.
In more than 20 years of service, Great American Lines' "Sunbelt Dixie" has carried more than 400,000 vehicles and 23 million cases of citrus. Considered by citrus shippers as symbolic of the citrus movement to Japan, the "Sunbelt Dixie" has also recorded significant achievements as a leader amongst vehicle carriers (PCC's) in all measured categories.
In short, the achievements of the company have exceeded the objectives of the creators of GALI. In just 23 years, GALI has demonstrated financial and service successes representative of what can be accomplished in meaningful Two-Way Trade.
