GAC has won the "Transport/Logistics/Freight" honour at the 2008 Seatrade Middle East and Indian Subcontinent (MEIS) Awards. It is the second year in a row that the Award has gone to GAC.
The Seatrade Middle East and Indian Subcontinent Awards is the premier awards event for the region's shipping industry. For the past 20 years, it has championed high standards and quality in shipping, as well as issues close to the heart of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and honoured key players that have made a significant contribution to the region's Maritime-related industries.
Meena Mathews, GAC's P&I Regional Manager - Middle East and Business Manager, received the Transport/Logistics/Freight Award from Capt. Jitendra Misra, Managing Director, Emarat Maritime LLC.
Continued investment
"Receiving the prestigious industry honour two years in a row is an encouraging recognition of GAC's service excellence as an industry leader," says Bengt Ekstrand, GAC Regional Director for the Middle East.
"Our continued investment in the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent region, particularly in warehousing and distribution, has paid off. This Award will motivate us to further improve our operational efficiency and service quality so that we can continue to set new benchmarks in the industry."
The winners of 26 categories, selected by an independent panel consisting of renowned industry figures, were presented with their prizes at a prestigious gala ceremony held at the InterContinental Hotel in Dubai Festival City.
