Hamilton’s port operator, Stevedoring Services, has won third place in the 2025 Ludlow Street Container Port of the Year awards.

The recognition was announced at the 55th Caribbean Shipping Association annual general meeting, conference and exhibition held in Paramaribo, Suriname, earlier this month.

More than 400 people from the maritime industry attended the event.

The awards highlight measurable gains in berth efficiency, productivity, safety and security.

The 2025 winner was Port Purcell, British Virgin Islands, and the runner-up was Point Lisas, Trinidad & Tobago.

“After gaining special recognition last year, we are honoured to receive third place for this year’s award,” said Randy Rochester, chief executive of SSL’s parent company, Polaris Holding Co.

“Our team works diligently and efficiently, moving over 35,000 containers in a year. Cargo services are critical to Bermuda’s economy and residents, and Stevedoring Services is proud to contribute to Bermuda’s success.”
