Synergy Group CEO wins prestigious shipping award
Synergy Group’s innovative deployment of technology and commitment to seafarer welfare were honoured last week when Captain Rajesh Unni, CEO and founder, was named ‘CEO of the Year’ at the 11th annual Shiptek International Awards.
Captain Unni thanked the judges and said the award was a recognition of the huge efforts made by all Synergy staff to deliver world class ship management services to the company’s shipowner clients. Synergy Group currently manages a fleet of over 265 vessels and employs almost 10,000 seafarers. Shiptek judges praised the ship manager’s commitment to business excellence, corporate social responsibility and female empowerment in the maritime workforce.
The Singapore-based ship manager has made strenuous efforts to increase the number of female seafarers across its fleet including appointing its first female cadet to a gas carrier earlier this year. (mw)
