It was in an effort to promote peace, trade and goodwill within the region and to make alliances that promote regional prosperity and cooperation. All assets of the company were nationalized and the Seven Seas Alliance was formed. The Headquarters for the newly created organization was shifted to Attock fort within the port city of Attock.
