Ann Fenech included in Lloyds List of shipping’s 100 most influential people
On Thursday, the Malta Maritime Forum congratulated Dr Ann Fenech on her inclusion, once again, amongst the Lloyds List Shipping Industry’s most influential people.
Typically, in its 2023 Edition Fourteen, The Lloyds List One Hundred People includes owners of the world’s largest fleets, box port operators, technology leaders, maritime lawyers, ship managers, and shipbrokers, amongst others.
This is yet another remarkable achievement by the Forum’s active Board Member and cofounder in a long list of milestones accomplished throughout her career, including having been elected as the first female President of the Comité Maritime International (CMI) in October 2022, the forum said.
In fact, the same publication credits Dr Fenech with having “helped to raise the profile of the CMI” since becoming its first woman President. It also credits Dr Fenech for her sterling work in serving as the CMI co-ordinator at the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, which deliberated the convention on the International Effects of Judicial Sales of Ships and seeing it through until it was signed by 15 countries at a ceremony in Beijing last September which she herself was invited to address.
Commenting on the Lloyds List commemorative publication, Fenech acknowledged the importance of policy makers to reaching out to industry leaders who, in turn, are to work closely with their governments to seek positions that are vital for the Industry and the common good.
This is yet another proud moment for Dr Fenech, for the Malta Maritime Forum and for Malta, the statement said.
