HONG KONG – Leading companies in the cargo, logistics and supply chain sectors took home 49 different awards at the 2022 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards at the JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong on September 7.
The awards, hosted and organized annually by Asia Cargo News, recognize leading service providers including air and shipping lines; airports and seaports; logistics, 3PLs and other associated industry professionals.
The nomination and voting process allowed the more than 15,000 readers of Asia Cargo News and e-news subscribers to first determine the leading companies in the market, and then determine the winners, making the results the opinion of service users rather than a panel of judges.
The nomination criteria were laid down by Asia Cargo News and, following a technical evaluation, the top eight firms in each category appeared on the final ballot. The top four firms in each category made up the final shortlist, with the winners collecting their awards from guest presenters from some of the biggest players in the Asian freight and logistics industry.
“Challenged as it continues to be, the industry has once again spoken up, and Asia Cargo News is delighted to be able to announce the winners of the 2022 AFLAS Awards here tonight,” said Asia Cargo News publisher Darren Barton.
“The AFLAS Awards are where stakeholders in the cargo and logistics sector come together to celebrate the very best in our industry, and although we are still missing some old friends due to Hong Kong’s quarantine policies, it is great to see so many of you here tonight.”
“The AFLAS Awards give us, and the industry, the opportunity to recognize the top global players in the industry,” said Asia Cargo News managing editor Gregory Glass. “It is an honour that so many of the winners were able to be here tonight.”
