Air freight, logistics and shipping companies gathered in Hong Kong for the AFLAS Awards 2020 where leading companies took home 47 different awards on November 9.

HONG KONG – Leading companies in the cargo, logistics and supply chain sectors took home 47 different awards at the 2020 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards at the Hotel Icon in Hong Kong on November 9.

 

The awards, hosted and organized annually by Asia Cargo News, recognize leading service providers including air and shipping lines; airports and seaports; and 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.

“To say this has been a difficult year would be an understatement,” said Asia Cargo News publisher Darren Barton.

 

“Despite the many challenges that our industry has faced in Covid-19 times, shippers and other customers continued to show a great interest in voting for the 2020 AFLAS winners, making these awards a true reflection of industry expertise. The competition was fierce, and I would like to congratulate all the winners tonight.”

 

“Asia is home to many of the world’s leading service providers, and we’re pleased to be able to honour them this evening, along with important partners in Europe and the Americas,” said Asia Cargo News managing editor Gregory Glass.

 

“Asia is an exciting place to be in the freight, logistics and supply chain industry, particularly as those companies innovate to survive – and to thrive – in the new Covid-19 landscape.”
