Award Categories
The DCN Australian Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards celebrate excellence across various categories. Here are the categories for 2024.
Customer Service Award
This award recognises the standard of customer service offered by individual shipping lines, or their agent, as seen by their customers. This award is not open for individual nomination – all lines and their agents will be automatically judged via an on-line survey of subscribers to Daily Cargo News. To win this award a business must excel in providing the highest level of customer experience via their involvement in communications, problem solving and innovation.
Gain national recognition and elevate yourself and your business.
The awards are open to individuals and businesses involved in or supporting the Australian Shipping & Maritime Logistics industry.
