Across the Irish Sea is where Mersey Maritime has launched their eighth annual industry awards and is calling for maritime and logistics businesses throughout the Merseyside region and the greater North West of England to start preparing their entries for 2022.

The UK’s leading maritime awards ceremony celebrates the achievements of the industry’s most outstanding companies and individuals. Applications are encouraged from any maritime or maritime related organisation, business and/or individual that operate in, or support, the North West region.

This year the MMIA’s theme will be ‘Our Time is Now’ which will have a particular focus on Mersey Maritime’s 20-year anniversary and look forward to the bright future of the sector. Mersey Maritime was conceived to create an ecosystem, championing and supporting one of the most diverse maritime regions in the UK and has been doing so ever since its founding in 2002.

Awards ceremony 

The awards will take place on Thursday 10 November 2022, in the prestigious location of Liverpool’s iconic Anglican Cathedral. It is expected that 2022 will be the biggest yet with more than 600 industry professionals likely to be in attendance. 

Application process  

Entries for the Mersey Maritime Industry Awards 2022 will open later in the week, and can be submitted via the Mersey Maritime website (here).  There are 14 award categories in total which can also be consulted on the website.

The closing date for submitting award entries is Monday 5th September 2022.

Every application received is assessed by Mersey Maritime’s industry judging panel who select the finalists for each category following a vigorous process. The winner of each category will once again be determined by the industry itself, with an industry voting platform launching in early October 2022.
