 Wilhelmsen Ships Service wins prestigious Seatrade AwardThe world's leading maritime service network Wilhelmsen Ships Service has been awarded the prominent Seatrade Award in the category of Best Ship Agent. This 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 recognises Wilhelmsen Ships Service as a front-runner 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 recognise 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.
