The Seatrade Awards offer categories that suit companies of all sizes and disciplines such as the Fuel Efficiency Award, right through to the Digital Technology Award. This year’s programme also introduces a new category – ‘Integration of Women in the Maritime Sector,’ which recognises the inspirational leadership and achievements of the industry’s leading women.

Bob Jaques, Editor, Seatrade Maritime Review, fellow organisers of the Awards added: “Following on from last year’s successful awards ceremony in 2018, we look forward to continue recognising and celebrating flourishing companies of all shapes and sizes from across the globe, which are helping drive growth for the maritime and shipping sectors.”
