Amports Celebrates 100th Stevedoring Service in Benicia
On May 3rd, Amports marked a major milestone in Benicia as our stevedoring service crew successfully processed its 100th ship—the NYK Sakura Leader. This significant achievement is a testament to the dedication, precision, and teamwork of our highly-skilled stevedores and the strength of our operations through the Benicia Port Terminal Company (BPT), our stevedoring subsidiary.
To commemorate this moment, we hosted a celebratory meal with the team and distributed limited-edition lapel pins featuring the BPT logo. These pins serve as a small but meaningful tribute to the hard work and commitment that brought us to this point.
"II want to extend my heartfelt thanks to every team member whose dedication and hard work made this possible. Together, we've faced challenges head-on and celebrated meaningful victories. Here’s to continued success — as one team, one vision."
