Clive Woodbridge, Editor of The Maritime Standard and Chairman of the Judging
Panel, stated, “This year’s competition was exceptionally tough, and we received an
unprecedented number of entries across all categories. Each finalist demonstrated
remarkable achievements and operational standards over the past year, which underlines
the significant advances that continue to be made in the regional maritime sector.”

A rigorous assessment process was conducted as part of the award selections, and this
was supervised by an independent panel of distinguished judges that included some of
the most prominent names in the 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.”

Reaction from the individual winners on the night of October 29th was highly
appreciative. Captain Mohamed Al Ali, Senior Vice President, Operations (Offshore
Logistics), at ADNOC L&S, who received the Outstanding Achievement Award, added: “It
was one of the greatest honours of my professional career to receive this Award. It really
means a lot to me to have TMS recognise the years of dedication and hard work.”

Tony Dagher, the Founder and Managing Director of TMC Shipping Group was the
recipient of the Young Person in Shipping and was similarly honoured. He said: “I have
been fortunate to have had great support from many people during my journey in
shipping, and to have a fantastic team around me now. This Award is as much for them
as it is for me.

Over the past 12 years The Maritime Standard Awards has consolidated its standing as
one of the most prominent annual gatherings within the global maritime calendar,
gaining worldwide recognition for recognising excellence and promoting a more resilient
and sustainable maritime future.
