Maritime Standard Awards finalists in 25 categories announced
The announcement of this year’s finalists comes at a pivotal time for the industry, as the maritime sector navigates rapid
global transformations, including decarbonisation, digitalisation and supply chain resilience. Across the region, demand for
freight, logistics and offshore operations continues to accelerate.

The GCC’s freight and logistics sector is expected to surge from $81.34 billion in 2025 to approximately $110 billion by 2030,
while the Middle East region’s offshore support vessel market is projected to grow from $27.25 billion in 2025 to $37.34
billion by 2030. At the same time, the Indian maritime freight market is on track to attain $50.70 billion by 2033. This
highlights a period of exceptional growth, where companies are continuously raising standards through innovation and
commitment, making them deserving of recognition at the Maritime Standard Awards.

Trevor Pereira, Managing Director of The Maritime Standard, said: “Beyond just a recognition, the awards also serve as a
catalyst for progress and innovation across the regional maritime industry. Every edition, we witness standards being set,
groundbreaking innovations and meaningful collaboration between stakeholders. This year’s event is set to be the most
dynamic, highlighting the energy and ambitious vision driving the industry to further success.”

This year’s awards attracted a substantial number of nominations from companies active in the fields, such as shipping, ship
repair, offshore services, technology providers, and logistics operators. The launch of new categories, including the Digital
Transformation Award and Heavy Lift - Project Cargo Company of the Year, reflects the industry’s focus on automation, smart
ports and specialised logistics solutions, indicating how the region is responding to global challenges with forward-thinking
strategies.

The Maritime Standard Awards as one of the largest international industry gatherings, is set to welcome guests from across the
region and worldwide. - TradeArabia News Service
