The former submarine hall at the RDM in Rotterdam will form the setting for the tenth edition of the Maritime Awards Gala on 2 November 2015.

Over the past ten years, the Maritime Awards Gala has become thé maritime event of the year where the "captains of industry" meet to present five maritime awards: the KNVTS Ship of the Year Award, the KVNR Shipping Award, the Maritime Designer Award (former Wim Timmersprijs), the Maritime Innovation Award and the Dutch Royal Navy’s Van Hengel-Spengler Award.

The Maritime Awards Gala officially kicks-off the Maritime Week 2015, which takes place from 2-7 November. In addition, Europort takes place in Ahoy Rotterdam from 3 to 6 November.
