Vale Bev Pinto

Shipping Australia is saddened to advise the industry that Beverly Silva Pinto recently and unexpectedly passed away while overseas.

To those who knew him, he was “Bev”. He was the beloved husband of Lyra, the proud father of Ryan and Gavin, and the loving father-in-law to Nish.

He was a man whose big smile filled the room, and who lived life to the full. His was a life that was tragically cut far too short.

Capt. Anil Bhatia paid tribute to his colleague and friend.

“Bev was one of the finest gentlemen, very loyal, very conscientious, and a perfect family man. He was one of the best colleagues and one of the best friends. Everyone in the company will miss him dearly”.
