South American Atlantic Services (known locally as SAAS) was set up in 2005 by CFL to provide a much-needed container link between the Falkland Islands and South American ports.
Using the vessel, the MV Scout, the service links local companies into the worldwide distribution network, providing Falkland Island industries with the shipping flexibility required to develop and expand their businesses. Since 2010 CFL has welcomed new partners in the operation which has allowed the company to expand its range of services to the customers.
Today, SAAS remains the only independent Falkland Islands company that offers a fixed day sailing schedule to and from Stanley, linking cargo to the UK and almost every other global port.
