Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating the contributions to welfare made by seafarers worldwide in 2021 and to our sponsors Shell and BHP!
In the words of our Secretary General, Andrew Wright,
“These Awards have gone from strength to strength. Once again, as last year, we have seen outstanding quality in the nominations for 2021. As a judge, I can confirm it has been really difficult to make decisions! What makes this year’s crop of awards particularly striking has been the fact that they cover a year of pandemic. They reflect the immense and impressive work done by so many companies and individuals in responding to the acute challenges enforced so suddenly and so painfully on seafarers and their families.”

The awards ceremony and gala dinner has traditionally been hosted in Singapore where guests are given the opportunity to network with some of Maritime’s key industry players. Singapore, a main hub of the shipping industry, is a magnet for major companies and there could be no better place at which to celebrate the contribution which has been made by seafarers worldwide as they perform their vital work which is fundamental to our global economy. We anticipate a live event next year and look forward to welcoming you all in person.
