HONG Kong-headquartered Anglo-Eastern has been chosen as winner of the 2023 Ship Manager of the Year Award at last week's 11th Hong Kong Annual Maritime Charity Dinner and Seafarer Awards hosted by The Mission to Seafarers Hong Kong.

The award is unique in that it is voted for by seafarers themselves, with the final decision taking into account the volume of unique responses and number of ships under management for all nominated parties.



Niraj Nanda, group commercial director, accepted the award on behalf of Anglo-Eastern, reiterating how much the win means to the organization, especially as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.



"This award proves that Anglo-Eastern is still doing things right, staying true to our values by nurturing our people and communities and progressively setting the standard as we celebrate an incredible 50 years in ship management".



He also thanked Anglo-Eastern's more than 37,000 seafarers worldwide and their families and shore teams that support them.



"This award would not be possible if it were not for our seafarers who continue to trust in us and grow with us across their careers, their families who sacrifice so much in enabling them to go about their duties, and the wider teams across Anglo-Eastern that support and prioritize our seafarers' wellbeing and professional development, so that the safety standards and professionalism our clients have come to expect of us are delivered."
