| Malone |
Regarded as the port's highest award, the award is presented to contributors in the fields of international trade and commerce.
Malone, BP’s chief representative in the United States, was appointed chairman and president of BP America in mid-2006. He was formerly chief executive of BP Shipping Ltd., responsible for BP’s global shipping operations.
The port cited Malone's strong record of environmental and safety leadership, including BP's conversion to safer, double-hulled oil tankers, and his ongoing support for the port's environmental policies.
