Singapore named 'Best Global Seaport' for the first time

The country also won 'Best Seaport in Asia' for the 33rd time.

In a press release by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the country’s seaport was awarded “Best Global Seaport” for the first time.

The Port of Singapore was also named “Best Seaport in Asia” for the 33rd time. These two awards were given by the 2021 Asia Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Awards (AFLAS).

Chief Executive Quah Ley Hoon of MPA attributed this achievement to partnerships that helped them keep their role in global supply chains.

The annual AFLAS is organised by Asia Cargo News to highlight leading service providers in the supply chain community. Winners in this category were determined by votes.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
