SINGAPORE – Leading cargo, logistics and supply chain companies took home 50 awards at the 2023 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards at the JW Marriot Hotel Singapore South Beach on September 28.
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 determine the leading companies in the market and then the winners, making the results the opinion of service users rather than a panel of judges.
Asia Cargo News laid down the nomination criteria, 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 most prominent players in the Asian freight and logistics industry.
“The industry has once again spoken up, and Asia Cargo News is delighted to be able to announce the winners of the 2023 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 we are glad to be holding this year’s awards in Singapore, seeing old and new friends joining us.”
“It is an honour that so many of the winners were able to be 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.
