Once again, five maritime innovation awards will be presented at the seventh Maritime Awards Gala, which will take place 8 November 2012 at the Cruise Terminal in Rotterdam. Companies can now send in their entries for one of these awards, the KVNR Shipping Award.
The KVNR Shipping Award focuses on the improvement or renewal of a company’s operations, such as in the area of human resources, environmental management, fleet management or other innovative activities. A jury led by Tineke Netelenbos, chairwoman of the KVNR will choose the winner. Last year, Dockwise won the award for the semi-submersible ship the Dockwise Vanguard (picture).
Entering for the Shipping Award
Ship owners and managers in the Netherlands can contend for the award. The award is meant as a general boost for the industry. Therefore, both members and non-members of the KVNR can enter. The company has to be based in the Netherlands, though companies belonging to an international holding can enter as well. Final entry date is 6 July 2012.
