H.E. Khamis Juma Buamim, chairman of Drydocks World, was one of the awards judges, and said it was important to recognise the positive work being carried out in the Middle East.
“Individuals, teams and organisations deserve to be recognised for what they are doing. What they are doing at their companies is a positive for the whole industry in the region,” he said.
“One of the things I like is that it drives competition; people and companies enjoy recognition and if that helps drive new initiatives and developments, then that is a positive.
“Success breeds success and helps ensure that the industry is always looking to improve.”
