Nico Middle East on a hat trick

Nico received the new and coveted award for Maritime and Offshore Services. Nico was honoured by a panel of twelve judges, each an industry expert in their own right. This new award follows on from last year's Seatrade awards ceremony, where Nico accepted the Ship Repair Company of the Year Award.

Ron Clark, G.M. Nico Middle East, commented,

'Seatrade's recognition of Nico Middle East is a tribute to all of Nico's employees. They have clearly demonstrated dedication and consistency in the quality of their performance. These attributes are essential to building a premier company which meets the highest industry standards. Now were going for a hat trick of awards in 2008.'
