In a major development, the Dubai-based publisher and events organizer, the Maritime Standard, has officially launched the Maritime Standard Awards 2019. The company has confirmed that the ceremony will be held at The Atlantis, the Palm Dubai, on Monday, 21st October, reports Marasi News.
This is the sixth time in a row that this famous and iconic venue has been chosen to stage the Awards, reflecting the high caliber and quality of the event.
How important is it?
The TMS Awards, widely accepted as being the leading event of its kind in the region, is a glamorous occasion which aims to recognize and reward exceptional performance and achievement within the maritime industry.
Managing director, Trevor Pereira, says, “I am really looking forward to this year’s Awards and delighted to be returning to the Atlantis. It is always a joyous, celebratory occasion and I am sure October 21st this year will be no different.”
Attended by Who’s Who of Shipping
The Awards are attended by a ‘Who’s Who’ of the regional shipping, ports and related sectors. Around 750 senior executives and decision makers will once again gather for one night under one roof, creating unrivalled opportunities for networking with genuine decision makers.
What’s in store for this year?
The evening will witness the presentation of around 28 different awards, covering different aspects of the maritime industry. The Maritime Standard will be seeking nominations for these awards over the next few months.
Maritime Standard Awards State Patronage
The Maritime Standard Awards have since their inception been held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman Emirates Airline and Group.
Clive Woodbridge, the editor of The Maritime Standard, adds: “A highly qualified independent judging panel ensures that only the ‘best of the best’ are shortlisted and that the eventual winners are fully deserving of the accolade. As a result, the Awards are uniquely placed to recognise excellence and consistently high levels of performance in the ports, shipping, and related sectors.”
This Year’s Line Up
The 2018 Awards were hosted by the well-known BBC journalist Tim Wilcox, and this year another significant personality is being lined up to act as master of ceremonies. This individual will follow in the impressive footsteps of the likes of Ruud Gullit, Alistair Campbell, Jim Clancy, and Lara Dutta, who have fulfilled this role in previous years.
