The annual awards ceremony and reception was held at the Tanglin Club after a two-year enforced break due to the pandemic.

Speaking to attendees Capt Subhangshu Dutt, Chairman of ICS – Singapore branch, put the events of the last two years into a wider historical perspective. “So, the Institute is 120 years old now. And it has witnessed two world wars, a few pandemics, blockades, trade embargoes, sanctions, calm winds, moderate weather, severe storms, but always emerged unscathed.”

Guest-of-Honour for the occasion was Quah Ley Hoon, Chief Executive of the Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), who stressed the importance of developing maritime talent and the key role that ICS plays in this.

The institute covers not just shipbroking, but all aspects of shipping, with awards presented for 16 different categories, as well as best overall student.
