The Containerisation International Awards 2012 is an ideal networking opportunity for business leaders and decision makers in the liner shipping, freight logistics and ports/terminals industry, its single focus on the container sector makes it unique among the many freight transport and shipping functions held every year.
The Containerisation International Awards is the ideal event to reward best practice, talent, endeavour, innovation and creative thinking and to recognise those companies and/or individuals that have contributed to making the container industry a safer, more secure, engaging and greener place in which to work.

Last year’s lifetime achiever, for example was Yung Fa Chang, chairman of Evergreen Line, who since establishing the carrier as intra-Asia operator in 1978 has built it into one of the largest (currently in sixth position with almost 600,000TEU of slot capacity), most environmentally-friendly and socially responsible companies in the sector.
In addition, Chang’s charitable foundation has supported relief projects, education and cultural ventures in Evergreen’s own country and various other parts of the world. His and his company’s legacy is an example to all in the industry.
Last year the innovation awards were among the best supported and for obvious reasons. Whether it be a new design of container, a new electric drive for a ship-to-shore gantry crane, container reefer monitoring device, carbon calculator or e-invoicing module, they can make real operating and/or cost savings differences.
However simple you may think your creation/invention is, don’t hold back. Many times has it been the most basic ideas that have shaped industry and led to some of the most far-reaching changes in the world. Take the container itself. Had Malcom McLean not taken the wheels off of that trailer in 1956 and loaded the unit flat on the ship then the container concept may never had been born, globalisation as we know it may never have taken root and the modern world that we live in today never taken shape.
That simple move led to the birth of containerisation and it led to the onset of globalisation and the modern world as we know it.
With your support the 2012 Awards will be bigger and better. Please contact any member of the team today for details of how to either enter the awards, host a table on the night or take up one of our sponsorship opportunities.
