About Seatrade Maritime Awards
Seatrade Maritime Awards is the leading awards programme for the global shipping and maritime industries.
Established in 1989, Seatrade Awards takes place every two years and welcomes entries across a diverse range of categories from businesses of all sectors. The programme culminates in London with a glorious evening of celebration, fine dining and networking as we announce our eagerly anticipated winners.
Quite simply, these awards are unchallenged as the ones to win. Each entry is judged and verified by an independent panel of experts, ensuring a transparent and fair process for all applicants. Entry will always be free-of-charge in order to ensure that Seatrade Awards remains accessible for all.
Judging and Entry Process
Nominations are invited from all corners of the global maritime and shipping markets.
Each of the categories within our Innovation Awards, Industry Excellence Awards, Sustainability Awards and Logistics Awards are judged by separate independent panels, each of which include senior influencers representing leading industry associations and bodies.
Whilst the Seatrade Editorial Board will be tasked with selecting the
winners of six Editorial Choice Awards.
With the exception of the Editorial Choice Awards, entries go through up to two rounds of vigorous assessment by our judges. The initial round takes place to determine our shortlist, while the final judging takes place shortly before we announce our winners.
On the Night

There is something unique about the atmosphere at Seatrade Maritime Awards. A sense of comradery among industry peers reunited once more and the palpable excitement of anticipation makes this a truly unforgettable evening.
Sustainability at Seatrade Awards
We recognise that sustainability is important to our attendees and sponsors, as well as the maritime market as a whole.
As event organisers, we believe in working with the markets we serve to create opportunities that improve our environmental, social and economic impacts.
We believe that by focusing on the issues that matter most to you and those that present growth opportunities for businesses that successfully enable positive change, we have a great opportunity to make both our market and events more responsible.
