This year's Mersey Maritime Industry Awards (MMIA) are set to be the biggest and most high profile yet with the winners being once again determined by the sector itself.

Regional cluster organisation, Mersey Maritime, was delighted to announce the launch yesterday of their industry voting platform which is now live.

The UK’s leading maritime awards ceremony celebrates the achievements of the industry’s most outstanding companies and individuals. The theme for this year’s awards is ‘Our Time is Now’, with a focus on the bright future that lies ahead for the industry.

The industry voting platform was launched to give local, national, and international industry members the opportunity to vote for the final winners. All winners will be unveiled at the awards dinner in Liverpool on Thursday, 10th November at Liverpool Cathedral.

Voting opened yesterday and continues until Friday, 21st October. Mersey Maritime would like to wish all finalists the very best of luck and to remind them not to forget to promote themselves vigorously in the next couple of weeks!
