Regarded as the industry’s leading awards programme, Seatrade Awards has been championing the work of individuals and organisations for over three decades. During the online ceremony, 14 more outstanding winners joined maritime’s greatest roll of honour for their remarkable commitment to the industry and outstanding achievements over the last 18 months.
Presenting Poulsson with his award, Chris Hayman, Chairman of Seatrade Maritime, said: “Reaching a milestone in one’s career of 50 years serving the same industry is rare, but our winner today has done just that.”
Hayman added during his citation: “Starting out in Hong Kong in 1971, Esben witnessed first-hand the rise of Asia as a powerhouse in international shipping. Based in Singapore for the last 18 years of his impressive career, he has played an important role in its development as a major global maritime centre and in fact now serves on the Board of the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore.
“Despite holding several additional non-executive and advisory roles at key shipping companies, he is perhaps best known currently for his position as Chairman of The International Chamber of Shipping. Through that role he has continuously championed the value, importance and respect of the Seafarer and continues that mission to this day.
There are very few people in the Maritime industry with a career as long or impactful as his and it is for that reason that we recognize him here today”.
Each year, the winners are determined by a series of independent judging panels, who are made up of leading industry thought-leaders and CEOs. These judges bring an impressive wealth of industry expertise and category-specific knowledge, which ensures that only the most deserving achievements and initiatives are rewarded.
Chris Morley, Seatrade Maritime Event Director, added: “These awards are a testament to our sector and the vision of those who drive it. We would like to congratulate our recipients and express gratitude to our panels of judges for their unwavering support and insight in selecting our prestigious winners for 2021.”
