"In 2015 Hamilton Shipping Ltd were appointed as ships agents representing Holland America, Princess Cruises and Seabourn for all ports in Ireland. Since that time, I have found Hamilton Shipping to conduct themselves in a professional and forthright manner. I have met with and continue to work with each agent in each port in Ireland, consistently, the personnel employed by Hamilton Shipping I have found to conduct all of their dealings in a professional, honest and proactive manner.
As Hamilton Shipping have established offices throughout Ireland I have found it extremely helpful to have consistency from one port to another throughout the country. The standard afforded to us from each office has been proactive and professional. I have worked with and continue to work with each of the agents and the offices and have found that the high standards are consistent throughout the entire operation, from one office to another. I have also found that Hamilton Shipping under the leadership of Mr. Leo McParland, have been extremely proactive and helpful in ensuring the best interests are upheld with governmental matters relating to the operations of the Holland America Group vessels.
I am very pleased to be associated with Hamilton Shipping and am looking forward to a continued long and productive relationship."
