Commenting on the launch of the 2020 awards, Maritime UK Chair, Harry Theochari, said:

We are hugely excited to be bringing the second Maritime UK Awards to Plymouth. A city in a region with substantial maritime history and an increasingly impressive maritime proposition. The region is leading our global sector in the maritime industries of the future – marine science, aquaculture and autonomy.

I’m really pleased that the government’s Clean Maritime Awards are going to be added to this year’s Maritime UK Awards. Last year the Department for Transport launched our Clean Maritime Plan as part of Maritime 2050 and these new categories will shine a spotlight on the exciting projects that are leading our decarbonisation journey.

Whilst the global economy is facing a period of significant challenge, it’s vital that we push ahead with our national awards. Our sector is strong, resilient and capable. Our businesses are getting on with the day job, enabling UK trade, designing and manufacturing world-class products, and providing the best professional services this sector has to offer. In tough times we adapt and succeed. Once we’re through this immediate period of challenge, it’s going to be important to come together and plan for the future – a future, which, despite coronavirus, will still be presenting us with substantial challenges such as responding to climate change. In many ways, therefore, the current pandemic makes the awards even more important than before.

God luck with your application!
