Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Seatrade Maritime Awards Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa, in association with Lloyd’s List, which are the only awards to feature during UAE Maritime Week 2021, took place last evening under the patronage of the UAE Ministry for Energy and Infrastructure. The awards saw a total of 16 winners announced from a remarkable shortlist. Of the 16 winners, 11 came from independently judged categories that recognise specific industry achievements including safety, sustainability initiatives, technical innovations, education, specific industry achievements and more.

A total of five independent panels collectively contributed their time and expertise to evaluating each nomination and providing a transparent judging process, with the finalists going through two rounds of judging ahead of the evening.

Andrew Williams, President, Informa Markets Maritime, commented from the ceremony: “Across the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa, maritime markets have faced challenging and disruptive circumstances. However, both the volume and quality of nominations submitted this year tell the story of a region that, through innovative thinking and resilience, continues to thrive.
