Amver awards in Dubai

We're just back from a visit to Seatrade Middle East Maritime where we had the pleasure of presenting a host of Amver awards to our Middle Eastern Amver partners in a regional awards ceremony.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates were represented in a ceremony recognizing 26 companies and over 100 vessels. If you don't think the shipping sector in the Middle East is large consider this, there was a combined 688 years of continued service to Amver represented at the ceremony!

The ceremony was a fantastic way to recognize the Middle Eastern shipping community's dedication to safety at sea and we look forward to hosting an even larger ceremony at Seatrade Middle East Maritime in 2014.

Congratulations to all the award recipients!
