The Apollonian Shipping Company, or ASC, is a marine transport company with its headquarters and home port in Sint Anna, Alrig. Together with the United North Apollonian Company, it also leases a dock and crane in the seaport of Xiaochincheng. While most of its fleet has Sint Anna as home port, they are mostly seen navigating the Antya river in Jingdao, where they move containers from the, fully-owned, Kaimingcheng Container Terminal to other ports along the river.
Products and services offered
The Apollonian Shipping Company has a focus on moving goods in shipping containers across the Jingdaoese-Alriggian economic zone. It offers various services that complement this, such as warehousing services, containerization services and leasing of shipping containers. It works together with the Alriggian transport company OldSport which transports the containers from the terminal to inland warehouse locations and end customers. In North Apollonia, the ASC works together with the United North Apollonian Company, also based in Alrig, to transport goods from communities in the Green to warehouse facilities in Jingdao, from where they are further distributed.
Flexible barges
As communities in the Green often lack clean drinking water, this commodity can be sold at a premium. Together with the United North Apollonian Company, the Apollonian Shipping Company has developed flexible barges, which can be towed behind container barges, and hold clean drinking water. This innovation makes it attractive for communities in the Green to trade with the Alriggian companies. In response to the Water crisis in Alduria in 1673, the Alriggian government offered subsidies to the ASC to transport clean drinking water to Alduria to alleviate their shortages.
