Shipping line Safmarine recently won the Ocean Award at CEVA Logistics' Global Supplier Awards at a function hosted by CEVA's CEO John Pattullo, Bruno Sidler COO and Simon Boggis CPO in Stradella, Italy.

This is the first Global Supplier Awards for CEVA. CEVA's CEO John Pattullo said that these awards were launched as "part of its relentless quest for excellence" and are designed to recognize "Impeccable Execution, commitment, and strategic alignment among its supplier base'.


CEVA said Safmarine's success in winning the award was proof of the great team work between both companies. Safmarine's CEVA team was commended for always honouring their commitments and stretching to meet the targets set, which is further proof of their People Making the Difference attitude.


CEVA's CEO John Pattullo said: "As a service organization ourselves, we understand how suppliers can contribute to a company's success and often support effective change. We pride ourselves on delivering impeccably to our customers and I am delighted to be able to recognize suppliers, such as Safmarine Container Line, who provide the same high service levels to CEVA."


Both CEVA and Safmarine are seen as true business partners and together they are helping to grow each others businesses in regions across the globe. CEVA and Safmarine have been doing business for the past ten years.


Safmarine's Regional Executive (EURAM), Francis Mottrie and Key Account Owner for CEVA, Arthur Bredehoft received the award on behalf of Safmarine.
