SHANGHAI – Leading cargo, logistics and supply chain companies took home 50 awards at the 2024 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards at the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on June 25.

 

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 companies 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 in record numbers, and Asia Cargo News is delighted to be able to announce the winners of the 2024 AFLAS Awards here in this beautiful venue,” 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. For the first time in six years, we are excited to return the evening’s events to Shanghai. It is great to see so many of you here tonight!”

 

“The AFLAS Awards give us, and the industry, the opportunity to recognize the very best players in our industry from the perspective of those that matter most – the clients,” said Asia Cargo News associate editor Charlee Delavin.

 

Written by leading transport and cargo industry journalists, Asia Cargo News is a vital intelligence source for cargo, logistics and supply chain companies in and doing business in Asia. The newspaper reaches more cargo shippers in Asia than any other publication and is a must-read for anyone in Asia's freight and supply chain industry.
