MSC crowned “Best Shipping Line – Asia – Africa” at the AFLAS Awards 2023

MSC, the world leader in container shipping and logistics, has once again been crowned the ‘Best Shipping Line – Asia – Africa’ at the Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards. Hosted and organised annually by Asia Cargo News, the nominations and results of AFLAS are based on votes by shippers, customers, industry stakeholders, as well as readers and subscribers of the news platform.

The fourth time that MSC bagged the accolade after our wins in 2019, 2020 and 2022, this victory in 2023 reaffirms its strong performance in connecting Asia and Africa. In 2021, MSC emerged as the winner for the ‘Best Shipping Line – Asia – Europe’ award category. The award presentation was held in Singapore on 28 September 2023.

With two robust services providing direct connections, MSC has been connecting the two continents seamlessly through its Africa Express and Ingwe service.

Recently, MSC also reinforced its continuous investment in Africa with AGL (Africa Global Logistics) to provide multimodal solutions from warehousing and cold storage to other logistics solutions. Leveraging its thriving logistics footprint in Africa, AGL also supports with productive maritime container terminals, as well as efficient multipurpose terminals and rail operations.

Gilbert Cappellini, MSC Vice President (Liner- Asia), said “As an industry, we were faced with various global challenges in the past year, from port congestions to economic slowdown. At MSC, we remained steadfast in understanding our customers’ unique shipping needs and in adapting to the industry conditions to help them overcome these challenges. This award is a testament to our customers’ confidence and satisfaction in our solutions, services and our ongoing partnership with them. We are beyond honoured and will remain committed to serving them even better.”
