In recognition of commitment to community,
economic development and leadership on the global stage, the Port of
Brownsville presented its inaugural Chairman’s Award to International
Shipbreaking, Ltd. (ISL) on Tuesday.
The Port of Brownsville will present the
award each year to companies that have realized achievements in key areas,
including business growth, leadership, job creation, customer service,
innovation, safety, and community involvement.
“The Port of Brownsville succeeds when its
tenants and users succeed,” Brownsville Navigation Chairman John Wood said.
“The Chairman’s Award is an expression of appreciation and support for the
efforts that our tenants put forth to make the port the leading economic engine
of the Rio Grande Valley.”
A subsidiary of EMR Group, ISL offers
dismantling and recycling services for the U.S. Navy, commercial ships,
drilling rigs and other equipment. ISL has operated at the Port of Brownsville
in southeast Texas since 1995. Today, the company employs more than 250
workers.
“Receiving the Port of Brownsville Chairman’s
Award is a tremendous honor for me and all of our employees,” Chris Green, the
president of ISL, said. “ISL and the EMR Group started with a vision for the
Port of Brownsville ship recycling industry, and implementation of this vision
has allowed us to provide a stable career for our employees and development of
our site into the best marine recycling facility in the world.”
The award was presented to ISL at the Port of
Brownsville’s annual customer recognition luncheon.
“We have just begun to implement our vision
and will continue to raise the bar in this industry with regards to safety,
environmental compliance and community involvement,” Green said.
