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

Subcontinent, events like The Maritime Standard Awards play a key role in reinforcing its position as a global leader
in shipping and maritime.”
