In 1992, for the first time ever, The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (UK) gave the first shipping award to a candidate from the African continent. The "CORY BROTHERS SHIPPING AWARD" went to ESL’s founder and Managing Director, Mr Silvester Kututa. This was the first of a series of international shipping and logistics awards in our gallery. ESL was established later, with the commitment to deliver tailor-made award winning Shipping and Logistics solutions to ship owners and cargo owners. The Company maintains very strict professional and ethical standards guided by the famous guidelines of the Baltic Exchange and The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers – "OUR WORD OUR BOND".
