Major maritime service network Wilhelmsen Ships Service has
been awarded the prominent Seatrade Award in the category of
Best Ship Agent. The awards ceremony took place on Monday 25
October at The Seatrade Middle East & Indian Subcontinent
Awards ceremony in the Atlantis Ballroom, at The Palm in Dubai.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this honour,”
comments Knut Brathagen, Regional Vice President for Africa,
Middle East and Black Sea (AMB), at Wilhelmsen Ships Service.
“The award recognizes Wilhelmsen Ships Service as a frontrunner
with our ship services offer in the maritime market.”
The Seatrade Middle East & Indian Subcontinent Awards are
designed to celebrate and reward excellence and innovation in
the maritime sector across the region over the previous 12
months.
The Seatrade Awards, which coincided with the Seatrade
Exhibition in Dubai are by far the largest shipping awards
ceremony in the Middle East and Indian Sub-continent. The ship
agent award sought to recognize customer service and efficiency
and new services offered both categories that have been amply
demonstrated by Wilhelmsen Ships Service. The company has
introduced two new key offers in the past twelve months
including the new Ships Spares Logistics and Ships Agency
Re-Defined projects, both of which have considerably simplified
administration and logistics for ship owners and operators. The
panel of judges also considered contribution and commitment to
the development of the maritime sector across the region,
commitment to safety and quality, and social and environmental
responsibilities, amongst other qualities.
Wilhelmsen Ships Service supplies Unitor marine products,
technical services, ships agency services and maritime logistics.
