While TMS is sticking to the same winning formula that have made
past Awards so hugely successful, the company is certainly not
resting on its laurels. Trevor
Pereira, managing director, says, "The Awards are now
recognised as being the leading maritime awards event in the
region, and one of the top worldwide. The partnership we have built
with The Atlantis is a significant part of the success story,
ensuring that the setting is suitably prestigious and high
quality, and we are delighted to be able to confirm that we will be
returning here again this year. But while we have a tried and
tested operation, we are not complacent, and we will be going
all out to make sure that the TMS Awards 2018 are bigger and better
than ever before."
The glamorous black-tie event recognises and rewards achievement
within the maritime sector, at an individual and corporate
level, and will be attended by over 700 senior executives and
decision-makers, not only from across the Middle East and the
Indian Subcontinent, but worldwide. Around 27 Awards will be
presented on the night. Most will be selected by an elite panel of
judges, handpicked for their knowledge and experience, while others
will be chosen by The Maritime Standard team to mark exceptional
achievements.
Winning an award gives companies and individuals a chance to
promote their achievements on an international stage. As
Ali Shehab, deputy chief executive,
Kuwait Oil Tanker Company, which was named Tanker Operator of the
Year, commented: "To win an Award at such a prestigious event was
truly an honour, and it validated the progress we have made, and
continue to make as a company in a very competitive business. It
was an extremely professional and well-run event, and
congratulations are due to The Maritime Standard for everything
they have achieved."

The not-to-be missed The Maritime Standard Awards recognise and
celebrate success in the shipping, ports and related sectors across
the Middle East and the Indian
Subcontinent. The fifth edition of TMS Awards will take place on
Monday, on 15th October 2018 at The
Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai.
The Awards are now positioned as one of the world's leading
shipping and maritime Awards gala dinners and are the premier event
of their kind in the region. All of the four events to date have
been held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, and have each
attracted close to 700 of the region's elite shipping and maritime
professionals, as well as a number of leading figures from
overseas. These guests have come from a variety of industry
segments, ranging from ports and terminal operators to ship owners
and managers, and executives from the worlds of maritime law and
finance, classification, ship building and repair and maritime
education and training.
For the inaugural event in 2014 PR guru, journalist and writer
Alastair Campbell performed as
master of ceremonies, while in 2015 Dutch soccer legend, Ruud
Gullit compered the event and in 2016 former CNN news anchor,
Jim Clancy, was on stage to lead
proceedings.
The 2017 TMS Awards event, which was hosted by the well-known
actress and model, Lara Dutta, saw
20 general awards presented, following the recommendations of an
elite, independent judging panel, as well as a number for special
individual awards recognising the contributions made by high
profile industry leaders and innovators. The Awards have set a
benchmark within the industry and have become an eagerly
anticipated meeting place for top executives from across the
business, where they can meet, network and create new
opportunities.
