For 2024 a new category has been introduced, ESG Journalist of the Year, recognising outstanding coverage of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in the logistics sector. Seahorse chair Emma Murray highlighted the importance of this new award in promoting sustainability within the industry.

“The new award encourages a focus on the future and the impact that the logistics industry has on the environment,” she said. “Seahorse wants to encourage the next generation, and this award demonstrates our commitment to this. With this in mind, we have some exciting announcements about mentorship and training schemes that we will be sharing in the next few weeks.”

There are 11 judged awards that recognise the best in different journalist disciplines, including Feature, Supply Chain, Technology, Maritime, Air Cargo, Overland, News, Multimedia, ESG, Rising Star and Journalist of the Year. There are also two nominated awards, Personality of the Year and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Entries can be placed on the Seahorse Freight Association website.

The judging panel consists of experts from across the global supply chain, including thought leaders from different areas of the logistics industry. Winners will be announced at Seahorse’s annual Christmas party at the Steel Yard, London.

The awards are supported by headline sponsor AAL Shipping, with award category sponsors DNV, Glasgow Prestwick Airport, Global K9 Protection Group, Lloyd’s Register, Port of London Authority, PSA, TIACA, and TT Club.
