The award was presented to Haastrup at the 58th CVL Leader Without Title (LWT) Sector Leadership Tribute Colloquium in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the Nigerian maritime sector.
The Founder/Chief Executive Officer, CVL, Prof. Pat Utomi, said the award ceremony and a leadership colloquium with the theme, ‘Inclusive Human Capital in the Maritime Sector’ were organised to honour outstanding sector leaders for their special contributions in the sector where they worked.
The award, according to him, serves as a great platform to celebrate excellent leadership in service, extolling the virtues that distinguish the honourees and making them outstanding sector leaders and encouraging younger ones to emulate such virtues.
Haastrup also serves as the Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of ENL Consortium, President of the Certified Institute of Shipping of Nigeria (CISN) and as a Trustee of some professional maritime women groups including the Women in Logistics and Transport (WILAT).
Utomi said, having developed a rare knack for managing people and resources, Haastrup has made remarkable impact in the seaport, especially in terminal operation, among dockworkers, professional women in maritime groups and in maritime education, among others.
According to him, Haastrup has successfully confronted the daunting task of running one of the most strategic terminals at the Lagos Port Complex Apapa in a male-dominated sector.
