Finalists chosen for Ship Efficiency Awards
The finalists for this year’s Ship Efficiency Awards, organised by Fathom to recognise companies’ efficient operations, have been announced.
The Awards feature five categories: ‘The Energy Efficiency Solution Award’, ‘The Environmental Technology Award’, ‘The Initiative of the Year’, ‘The Initiative of the Year’, ‘The Sustainable Ship Operator of the Year’ and ‘The One to Watch’. The shortlisted finalists include big industry names like ClassNK, Hapag-Lloyd, Thordon Bearings, Canadian Shipowners Association, Maersk Line, Stena Line and Deltamarin, among others.
“We are delighted with the level of participation and the breadth of nominations received for this year’s awards,” said Katherine Palmer, environmental manager, Lloyd’s Register. “We would like to thank all entrants for their contribution and look forward to the awards ceremony.”
Fathom says nominations received for the 2015 awards considerably surpassed last year’s nominations total, demonstrating the growing reputation of the Ship Efficiency Awards amongst other maritime industry awards.
The nominations have been independently judged by a panel of highly-esteemed industry experts including Lars Robert Pedersen, BIMCO; Craig Eason, Lloyd’s List; Tristan Smith, University College London; Oskar Levander, Rolls-Royce Marine and Roger Strevens, Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics. The judging process was overseen by Katharine Palmer, Lloyd’s Register.
Award winners will be presented at a ceremony hosted by Lloyd’s Register on 9 September 2015 as part of Ship Efficiency: The Event 2015.
