Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) -- the major cargo handler at Hong Kong International Airport, the world's leading air cargo hub -- has received the "Air Cargo Terminal of the Year" award for the sixth year running at the Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards 2012. The awards were presented at a gala dinner held at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore on 6 December (Thursday), attended by senior logistics professionals.
Organised by Supply Chain Asia magazine, the awards were based on online voting by industry players. Submissions of shortlisted companies in each category were then considered by a panel of expert judges to decide the winners.
Hactl's winning submission successfully convinced judges about its customer service, IT know-how and systems, efficiency, its airline network coverage, the quality of its ground transport links, its charges, its special handling abilities, its record of launching products and services to match market demand, and its Corporate Social Responsibilities and environmental policies.
Speaking after the event, Mark Whitehead, Managing Director of Hactl, said: "It is very gratifying that so many logistics professionals throughout Asia have voted to recognise Hactl's efforts to provide highest quality handling services. I would love to dedicate this award to everyone at Hactl. Their enthusiasm, hard work and commitment every day of the year are what has won us this honour.
"While we take pride in our achievements, we will not rest on our laurels as we continue to strive for excellence in everything we do for our customers and the community. In the dynamic air cargo industry, we strive to be a company that is receptive to changes and opportunities. We will continue to support Hong Kong International Airport to maintain its status as the world's number one air cargo hub with its reputation for efficiency and excellence." |
