Transworld Group companies reaped awards with Balaji Shipping Line being recognised as the NVOCC (non vessel operating common carrier) of the Year and Shreyas Shipping and Logistics winning the ‘Shipping Line of the Year – Coastal Operator’ title, both for the fifth time in a row.

Ramakrishnan was recognised for his many pioneering and innovative initiatives, outstanding contributions, visionary leadership and continuous commitment to the development of maritime industry, both in Indian subcontinent and Middle East.

“This is a recognition of the hard work put in by all my colleagues at Transworld Group and the support that we have obtained from our business partners and I thank everyone,” said Ramakrishnan.

“We are particularly happy with Shreyas Shipping being recognised as a leading player in coastal shipping, as coastal shipping is a concept that we pioneered in India,” explained Ramakrishnan.
