Double honours for APL at Lloyd's List Asia Awards 2015
APL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), has been named Container Line of the Year for exceptional performance in ship operations.
The company also won the Investment in the Future Award for its outstanding training and education programmes for its employees and seafarers at the Lloyd's List Asia Awards 2015 held last week.
In 2014, APL invested over 7 per cent of its total manning crew costs into training its shipboard and shore-based staff. It also developed a training course on the new technology on board its newbuildings for its crew to fill the training gaps in traditional programmes, the company said.
"We are delighted to have received double honours from the Lloyd's List. The awards are an affirmation of APL's strategic focus on efficiency, yield optimsation and service reliability to better our performance," said APL president Kenneth Glenn.
In addition, APL's fleet renewal programme was deemed as a merit for Container Line of the Year award. The initiative has provided APL with economies of scale and fuel efficiency, and enabled the carrier to compete with lower slot costs. APL also fared well for its focus on yield optimisation and outstanding on-time performance in recent months.
