THE ASIAN FREIGHT

LOGISTICS AND

SUPPLY CHAIN AWARDS

9 November, 2020 

Hosted by Asia Cargo News, the 2020 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards  are designed to honour leading service providers including air and shipping lines; airports and seaports; and logistics, 3PLs and other associated industry professionals for demonstrating leadership as well as consistency in service quality, innovation, customer-relationship management and reliability. 

​

Leading companies in the cargo, logistics and supply chain sectors will take home over 40 different awards 

The AFLAS Process

AFLAS winners are awarded by going through a 3-step process, taking into account industry opinions, and through nomination criteria and technical evaluation by Asia Cargo News.

1. Nomination

The nomination criteria is laid out by Asia Cargo News, and a list of companies is sent out to readers.

2. Voting

Once the nominees have been drawn up, the finalist shortlist is sent out to 15,000+ readers to vote.

3. AFLAS Awards

The winners collect their awards from guest presenters from some of the biggest players in the industry.

The 2020 AFLAS Awards

Leading companies in the cargo, logistics and supply chain sectors took home 47 different awards at the 2020 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards at the Hotel ICON in Hong Kong on November 9.

The awards, hosted and organized annually by Asia Cargo News, recognize leading service providers including air and shipping lines; airports and seaports; and logistics, 3PLs and other associated industry professionals. The nomination and voting process allowed the more than 15,000 readers of Asia Cargo News and e-news subscribers to first determine the leading companies in the market, and then determine the winners, making the results the opinion of service users rather than a panel of judges.

 “To say this has been a difficult year would be an understatement,” said Asia Cargo News publisher Darren Barton. “Despite the many challenges that our industry has faced in Covid-19 times, shippers and other customers continued to show a great interest in voting for the 2020 AFLAS winners, making these awards a true reflection of industry expertise. Competition was fierce, and I would like to congratulate all the winners tonight.”

 “Asia is home to many of the world’s leading service providers, and we’re pleased to be able to honour them this evening, along with important partners in Europe and the Americas,” said Asia Cargo News managing editor Gregory Glass. “Asia is an exciting place to be in the freight, logistics and supply chain industry, particularly as those companies innovate to survive – and to thrive – in the new Covid-19 landscape.”
