Freight awards winners named

The 2013 Young International Freight Forwarder of the Year Award has been presented to German forwarder Janna Van Burgeler (left) at a ceremony during the FIATA Congress in Singapore. Entrants from all over the world submitted papers focusing on key import and export commodity/cargo projects. From these the Steering Committee selected a shortlist of four regional finalists. These four young professionals were then invited to attend the 2013 FIATA World Congress to make a presentation regarding their dissertation topic to the Young International Freight Forwarder of the Year (YIFFY) Steering Group.
