maritime industry.

Trevor Pereira, Managing Director of The Maritime Standard, commented, “These Awards are not

just about celebrating success, but also about encouraging excellence. This year’s event recognised
innovative concepts, exciting new initiatives, and outstanding performance standards. As the region
continues to expand its maritime infrastructure and digital port systems, with significant developments
across the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent, events like The Maritime Standard Awards play a

key role in reinforcing its position as a global leader in shipping and maritime.”
