Overview

The 16^th Asian Freight Industry Awards

The best service providers in Asia's cargo industry have been rewarded for a year of outstanding work at the Asian Freight Industry Awards in Singapore.

Now in its 16^th year, the AFIA has become the highlight of the Asian freight industry calendar.

More than 13,000 readers of Cargonews Asia, the leading freight industry newspaper in the region, voted to select the best service providers in 37 industry-specific categories.

The AFIA's special role is that they are the only Asian freight awards in which the customers, and not a panel of judges, are asked to choose the best service providers.

Nominated companies can track their performance and gauge customer satisfaction levels by watching their standings change from one year to the next.

All returned nomination and final ballot forms are audited by international auditor Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

Cargonews Asia voters and readers recognise excellence in companies from Europe, North America and the Middle East, as well as Asia, reflecting the global nature of the cargo industry.

The ceremony took place at the Hilton Singapore in Singapore on March 14^th.

How the AFIA Process is Done

The AFIA nomination forms are inserted in the first September issue of Cargonews Asia. All readers receive the numbered forms and nominate their favourite companies in different categories, the number of which varies each year. Our reader should return the original nomination forms by the end of October, photocopies are not accepted. Companies are allowed to nominate themselves in this round.

The audit firm (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu) then audits and finalises the nomination round. Voting ballots are sent to our readers in early December by direct mail. All ballot forms have to be returned to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu by the end of January. Companies cannot vote for themselves in this round, and only shippers can vote for all categories. Different readers vote for different categories, for example, airlines can vote for air cargo terminals and airports but not for ports and container terminals.

The AFIA preview is run in the January issue of Cargonews Asia. Nominees in all categories are listed in the preview along with editorial coverage of all categories, details about which categories are new that year, the number of nominations in each category, and other relevant information about the coming awards ceremony.

The results are finalised by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu at the beginning of March. Cargonews Asia informs all winners and sends out invitations for the awards presentation ceremony. The presentation is held alternately in Hong Kong and Singapore. A news embargo is enforced until the date of the presentation. All winners receive a press kit, which includes different versions voting form, the ranking of all categories, and the percentage of the sharing vote.

Finally, there is an AFIA review in the April issue of Cargonews Asia. All winners are invited to use this opportunity to advertisers in this issue to thank the readers who voted for them.
