Have you delivered a technologically innovative ship between January 1st 2010 and April 30th 2011? Send the KNVTS your nomination for the KNVTS Ship of the Year Award 2011 before May 16th 2011.
The KNVTS celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 1998 by establishing the KNVTS Ship of the Year Award. Every year, this prestigious award is awarded to a technologically innovative ship of both Dutch design and mainly Dutch produce. Last year, the award went to the Vox Máxima(picture).
Criteria
A committee consisting of leading maritime specialists will judge and select the most pioneering ship based on the following criteria: design, economics, building process, sustainability and safety.
Categories
The committee nominates ships for the award in the categories shipping (seagoing), inland shipping, yacht industry, fishing and special craft (for example dredgers, offshore support vessels, tug boats, marine vessels). The committee nominates three ships at most and can nominate several ships in one category, but only one per ship type.
Maritime Awards Gala
In 2011 the award will again be presented during the Maritime Awards Gala and consists of an authentic model of a Dutch flute ship, a freighter for European shipping developed at the end of the sixteenth century. Through targeted PR the nominees will be brought to the attention of maritime media, for example through a special edition of SWZ Maritime.
