THE_SHIP_EFFICIENCY_AWARDSLONDON: 12th May, 2014: Fathom, the maritime eco-efficiency specialists, have announced the launch of the inaugural Ship Efficiency Awards, to be held in October alongside Fathom’s annual conference ‘Ship Efficiency: The Event’.

These awards will be dedicated to recognising excellence in efficient operations, technological innovation and energy efficiency within the maritime industry.

The awards will be judged by an internationally reputed panel, including Martin Stopford, President, Clarksons Research Services (CRS), Craig Eason, Technical Editor, Lloyds List, and Peter Hinchliffe, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) & Shipping Federation (ISF), amongst others.

The Ship Efficiency Awards will acknowledge and celebrate outstanding industry trailblazers through six different categories; the Energy Efficiency Solution Award, the Environmental Technology Award, Initiative of the Year, Sustainable Ship Operator of the Year, The One to Watch and the Outstanding Contribution to Ship Efficiency Award (to be judged via public vote). These awards put the spotlight on those individuals and companies that are making a real difference to advancing leaner and more efficient shipping operations, and will recognise those who are shaping a sustainable future for our industry.

“Efficiency, in all its guises, is truly one of the biggest challenges we are facing today as an industry. It is important that we properly celebrate and promote those furthering the knowledge and possibilities for the wider industry so that all can benefit.” Alison Jarabo, Director at Fathom Shipping, commented.
